Golden Syrup & Plum Cake

Golden Syrup & Plum Cake
Servings: 16 slices
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time40 minutes
Total Time50 minutes

Ingredients

  • 350 g Plain Flour
  • 200 g Sugar - I use soft dark brown for colour and flavour but any would work
  • 100 g Cooking oil - Sunflower or rape/canola
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Pinch salt
  • About 120g Golden Syrup*
  • 225 ml boiling water
  • 100 g dried plums - cut into 1cm cubes.

Instructions

  • Place all the ingredients apart from the plums into the food processor bowl and whizz until you have a smooth golden brown batter, add the chopped plums and pluse once or twice.  Pour into 8” square pan lined with greaseproof paper and bake at GM4/180C for about 35 - 40 mins until risen and a cocktail stick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Notes

* the syrup is almost impossible to measure, the recipe is quite forgiving so I measured by eye, and dolloped just over 1/4 of the tin of syrup into the food processor bowl.
