Plum Churro Cake 🍰 easy and fun combination ❤️

My lovely neighbour offered to bring some plums and, although I would have loved making some jam, I opted for a fruity cake for the morning coffee.

One of the reasons we fell in love with our house was the garden, with its fig, apple and plum trees. I think the plum variety is Jubilee, but she's a temperamental old thing and in recent years has flowered and fruited biennially.This year has been a fallow year. Usually by now I'd have made endless jars of jam (my favourite recipe being plum and earl grey), ice cream, crumbles, compote, and cake after cake after cake - anything to use up the vast quantities that fill every bowl we own.. But I've been more selective this year, buying just a few to eat or use as we choose rather than out of necessity.Having said that, I've made this cake three times this week, tweaking the recipe a bit here and there until it's just about perfect. Plums seem to take on a different personality depending on what you put them with - I do love a versatile fruit - and my favourite combination is plum and rose.I have a lovely recipe for plum and rose jam, which'll have to be put away for next year. You can see this here - https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/2346821-plum-and-earl-grey-jam.Meanwhile, this cake is an excellent way to use up the last of the crop and works equally well with plums of all varieties and in all states of ripeness.

A yummy and tasty traditional recipe for the season

It's late September. The kids are back at school. The kits are settling in. The kitchen is half finished and a bit of a tip.What to do in the midst of a building site? Make a cake, of course.With six big bruise-coloured plums and three plump figs lurking in the fruit bowl, the decision made itself. No stranger to plums and what complements their flavour (I once lived in a house with an abundant plum tree), almonds were a given. Would figs work too?Yes. Yes, they would.It was an easy win. I modified an Italian plum cake recipe by David Tanis by adding figs and using golden caster sugar and a dash of almond extract.The end result was the perfect combination of dense crumb and molten, jammy fruit.This is a cake best served warm, as close to just-out-of-the-oven as you can get without the risk of third degree burns, with a cup of coffee on a rainy autumn day.

Beautiful cake. Not too sweet.

A French-style cake perfect for afternoon tea, with the rich aroma of butter and the sweet taste of jam and raisins. After one bite, you'll want another...

A wonderful cake to celebrate christmas.

Enjoy a crunchy sugar top with moist texture cake!

...not a nasty gross fruit cake with terrible dried candied stuff that never should have been created in the first place. Okay now that I've gotten that out of my system, here is what we like in a fruit cake. Our inspiration is the same ingredients the that we would love in trail mix incorporated into a rich dense cake. Make a glorious dense cake and fill with great stuff then moisten with booze you can't live without! Easy right. Fruitcake should not be so hard...

This is a holiday cake my mother made that I like a lot. It's a heavy moist cake with lots of flavors.
