Spiced Plum Upside Down Cake

A delicious cake that can be either a layer cake, or a dessert served with custard or ice-cream

Oh, My, Gosh.....this is one of my very favourite recipes. When Plums are in season I just have to make a plum cake, and this upside down cake with spices is perfect.

Plums are quite tricky to get into a cake recipe and still be able to taste them. They don't have a strong flavour, but they have a lot of moisture. Because of that I always find the best Plum Cake is an upside down cake.

I made a 2 x 5” layers and they were quite deep so I sliced each layer in half. I added cinnamon buttercream for an extra bit of indulgence. You could keep it to 1 x 9” layer and serve it with custard or ice-cream.

There are notes on the ingredients, substitutions and technique after the recipe.
