Ingredients
200g soft butter
190g golden caster sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
150g spelt flour
2 tsp baking powder, sieved
100g ground almonds
500g sliced plums
1.5 tsp light demerara sugar
Method
Link a 9-inch round cake tin with parchment. Preheat your oven to 180ÂșC/gas mark 4.
Beat the butter and sugar well, until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
Lightly beat the eggs with the vanilla and slowly beat this into the sugar mixture, to combine well.
Mix the flour, sieved baking powder and ground almonds together. Use a wooden spoon or spatula and combine with the previous mixture to make a smooth batter.
Scoop the batter into the prepared tin. Scatter the plum slices on top and sprinkle the demerara sugar over the cake.
Place the tin into the centre of your oven. Bake for about 45 minutes until golden on top and a skewer comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the tin for a half an hour than sit the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
