Hi Fionuala! That plum cake looks scrummy! Which NS book is it from? That would suit nicely for a pudding!

sorry to lower the tone, but the words Nigel Slater, Moist and plums all in the same sentence make me feel a bit

Oh dear, now you've put me off my Rijsttafel

OG. Now you have lowered my tone too, put me right off the cake

HH, it think its from "A year in the Kitchen" by Nigel Slater, but I got it from the Guardian

having first seem him make it on some TV programme.

By the way he says it is best on the day it is made, but I like it a day later when some of the juices from the plums have seeped out and it is more moist.

This looks very similar to the recipe for the rhubarb cake which I made yesterday. Can someone tell me - is it meant to be a bit soggy at the bottom??

[hungryhousewife Profile]

Thanks so much - I've just looked it up, but wouldn't probably have noticed it otherwise.
I might make one next week, as I have a lunch to do on Thursday.

I think cherries would be good too.

Funny you should mention that Dover Soul!!! Great minds think alike!! I have just made a really delicious version of this cake using a bottle of Cherries I bought the other day from Lidl, and it was absolutely delicious! I am trying to upload a photo, but haven't done this before! Hope it works, as it really was good!

Raspberries work well too. I made one on Friday, using vanilla instead of almond. Very nice with a vanilla bean ice cream.

See if this works!!

HH great idea! I have a bottle of cherries from Aldi. Your cake looks lovely.

Thanks ICC - it was delicious - not much left now! We had it for pudding after roast chicken - served with a little crème fraiche. I made it with rice flour, as I try not to eat wheat, and also used flaked almonds instead of walnuts. I would definitely make it again. It is juicy, and the cherries didn't sink to the bottom! It took a bit longer than 45 mins to cook, but I had made it in a slightly smaller tin than he suggested.
