Plums are in season and were getting a bit too ripe to eat so decided to make this spicy gingery plum cake, so good
Heat oven to 180C Grease and line the base of square cake tin with baking parchment. Butter the paper generously and sprinkle with the demerara sugar. Halve the plums and arrange in the base of the tin
Melt the butter syrup and sugar and leave to cool
Once cooled add the eggs and milk and mix and then add the flour spices and bicarbonate of soda
Pour the mixture over the plums in the tin and put in the oven for about 40 mins
Take out of the oven, leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins and then remove Once cooled store in the fridge
