Description

This rustic plum cake is a delightful treat, perfect for a cozy autumn afternoon. The combination of sweet plums and a hint of cinnamon creates a warm and comforting flavor. I've been making this cake for years, and it's always a hit with family and friends. The cake is incredibly easy to prepare, especially with the help of the Thermomix®. The batter comes together quickly, and the plums bake beautifully on top, creating a moist and flavorful cake. It's best served warm or at room temperature, making it ideal for brunch or a simple dessert. Feel free to add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence. This cake is vegetarian-friendly and a great way to use up seasonal plums.
