Plum cake is a favourite feature of children's nursery rhymes. They seem to like eating it too
Serves 8
1. Set the oven to 180˚C. Line the cake pan with baking paper and grease the paper with butter.
2. Wash the plums. Cut them through to the stone all the way round and carefully twist them in opposite directions to remove the stones. Chop the plums into small pieces.
3. Sift the flour into a mixing bowl then dice the butter and add this to the flour. Use your fingertips to rub the flour and butter together until it looks like breadcrumbs.
4. Add the almonds and muscovado sugar to the flour and butter.
5. Measure the milk in the measuring jug and break the eggs into it. Place the jug on the damp cloth and beat well with a balloon whisk or fork.
6. Add the mixed milk and egg to the flour, butter, almonds and sugar. Stir together using a wooden spoon and then gently fold in the chopped plums.
7. Put the mixture into the lined cake tin and scatter the demerara sugar on top.
8. Bake for 45-50 minutes (test by putting a skewer into the cake - it will come out clean when the cake is cooked.)
