My neighbour Elisabeth always seems to be looking for prune plums at this time of year. They can be a little difficult to find around here because they generally come from Southern Ontario when they are in season.<\/span><\/p>\n

She makes a plum upside down cake with them based on a recipe from one of Bonnie Stern\u2019s cookbooks. She\u2019s right to insist on these little gems of plums for this type of recipe. They are a perfect combination of tart and sweet and were just delicious in this cake.<\/span><\/p>\n

When I looked at Elisabeth\u2019s recipe, it was very similar to one that I use for my Old Fashioned Apple Upside Down Cake<\/strong><\/a>,<\/span> so I wanted to mix up the cake flavour just a little to perhaps compliment the plums even more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Almonds added more inspiration.<\/span><\/h3>\n

I had a surplus of slivered almonds on hand that were crying out to be used , so in went some of those with a little almond extract to boost the flavour even more. It was a delicious choice!<\/span><\/p>\n

The cake I decided to make in what UK super baker Mary Berry refers to as an all-in-one method. I just got the Mary Berry\u2019s Baking Bible<\/a>\"\"\"\"<\/strong><\/span> which I saw on sale on Amazon and just couldn\u2019t resist. I can\u2019t wait to tear into it.<\/span><\/p>\n

I saw her use the method on one of her TV series when she was a making a classic Victoria Sandwich Cake<\/span>. It\u2019s very\u00a0similar to just making a cake mix: everything goes in, mix and bake. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is super easy but you have to me careful not to over mix, which will build the gluten in the flour and toughen the cake texture. The secret is to do it very quickly, as is described in this recipe, and it will work like a charm.<\/span><\/p>\n

I like this cake best when still a little warm from the oven. We served it with a small scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and it was just sublime. <\/span><\/p>\n

I might just be fighting Elisabeth for those prune plums every summer at the supermarket now.\u00a0 Although I think any small plum could be used as a delicious substitute.<\/span><\/p>\n
