I haven't tried the cake yet, but looks and smells delicious! I think you should only cook it for 5 minutes at first, put the plums in and then cook it for 40 minutes. Before, I made a plum cake whith a simple sponge recipe and put the plums in without any cooking. That way the plums were more inside the cake. I baked it in a heart shaped tin, so it was hard to measure, but it was about 10cm x 10cm. Good luck to everybody making this recipe!

I have picked some plums this morning they are only small but taste nice not very sweet but not bitter either. After searching the net for a recipe to use them in came accross this one as I had all the other ingredients in store cupboard thought I'd give it a go. It's in the oven as I type it smells absolutely gorgeous can't wait to try it. I've added a little twist though I prepared the fruit first and soaked them in a mixture of 2 tablespoons of dark rum and 1 of brown sugar, I drained them and dusted them in the bag with white sugar and cinnamon but no almonds.
