200gSugar - I use soft dark brown for colour and flavour but any would work
100gCooking oil - Sunflower or rape/canola
1tspbaking powder
Zest of 1 lemon
Pinchsalt
About 120g Golden Syrup*
225mlboiling water
100gdried 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.
