How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 180degC. Line a deep 20cm round cake tin with non-stick paper.
  • Melt 2 tbspns butter and pour into the base and swirl around. Sprinkle base with the brown sugar. Place plums in the cake pan, flat side down.
  • Sift flour and the baking powder into a clean dry bowl. Add the caster sugar.
  • Melt the remaining butter and set aside to cool slightly until needed.
  • Combine buttermilk, eggs, orange rind and vanilla in a clean, dry bowl. Make a well in the centre of the flour. Pour buttermilk mix into the well, stirring to combine...
  • Add the melted butter and fold together.
  • Spoon mixture over the plums in the cake pan.
  • Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 50-60 mins or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Set aside in pan for 10 mins before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While cake is baking, put reserved liquid in a small saucepan with the juice of a lemon. Also cut the lemon up, rind and all, and add to the mixture. Reduce the liquid by half. Set aside to pour over the yoghurt when serving, or over the cake itself....

    Thanks for the correction. I kind of thought that was in there by mistake. You wouldn't believe how often I have to edit some of my recipes till I get it right. I can just taste this recipe with a nice warm custard.

    I was just reading through your recipes ingredients. I am wondering about the '1/2 cup baking powder'. Think maybe you missed this when you typed it out. What might the correct ingredient be? Thanks
