Patsy's Plum Cake

Recipe #329888 | 45 min | 20 min prep | add private note

By: curdite_diamond

This is a simple & delicious cake. My Mum (Patsy) would always make it in the fall when the little blue Damson plums are in season. I gets requests for the recipe & often double & triple it to share with friends. You may substitue the plums with apples, pears or nectarines or your favorite fruit. The cake recipe is a classic from Fannie Farmer & my Mum used this cake for the base for her English trifle as well. A little tip (for much easier clean up, line your pans with tin foil & then grease). I have also used pure almond extract instead of the vanilla, a lovely combination. Looks pretty if you flip it over & serve as an 'upside-down' cake. Enjoy!
