Hot Plum Batter Cake

KittyKitty's Note:

This cake looks really unique, because of the batter and the plums. Other fruits can be used, depending on the season. Canned dark cherries are particularly good.

I set off looking for a recipe that resembled a cake I had at a tea shop this week. I thought this looked close, and was delighted when I made it, to find out that it is the same! Being on a low fat/low sodium diet, and absolutely loving baked plums, this recipe was made for me! I used Italian plums, as they are in season, and had to use whole wheat flour, as I was out of white. It was delish! It's so nice to have a fruit recipe focus on the fruit, and not on adding tons of sugar. It was beyond easy, and looks quite pretty. I can imagine that it will taste just as good with any other fruit...and I plan on testing that theory out as soon as the plum cake is all gone...maybe tomorrow!
