Plum Cake (Vegan)

As if I didn’t post enough cake recipes lately, I have to share another one with you today. Fitting to the season, it’s a vegan plum cake. At the market they had so many beautiful plums in all variations, so I bought a bunch. Enough to snack on during the day and to bake a delicious cake for the afternoon.

 

 

The recipe I’m sharing today is very simply and quick to make. If you didn’t bake vegan cakes before, this could be a great recipe to start! You’ll be surprised how well it works, even without eggs and dairy.

 

 

I don’t know about you, but I connect plum cake with cozy autumn days. To me it’s not so much of a summer cake. So I love adding cinnamon for the seasonal flavor. Cinnamon and plum go so well together, don’t you think?

 

 

Today it was one of those cozy autumn days. A little rainy, cool air and falling leaves with every wind blow. Perfect for baking a plum cake! Which is what I did right away after my morning walk with Fritzi. It made the whole apartment smell so lovely. After it cooled down I placed it on the cake stand, ready to serve later in the afternoon.

 

 

Since I love hanging out in our kitchen, I sat up the table with the vegan plum cake, a lovely tea and some candles.

 

 

When my boyfriend came home from work, we sat down for a little break and talked about the day. And look who was sleeping at our feet!

 

 

As you know from this post, I love pottery. This little milk jug is my newest addition to my collection. It fits perfectly to the small mugs I bought on our last trip to Copenhagen. Happy me!

Plum Cake (Vegan)

 

• 120g sugar (1/2 cup)
• 180g flour (1 cup + 2 tbsp)   I used 50% regular white flour and 50% spelled wholegrain flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• pinch of salt
• 150 ml sunflower oil (1/2 cup + 1 tbsp)
• 3/4 cups ripe banana (about one big banana)
• 220g ripe plums, about 8 pieces (cut in halves and pitted)

 

In a small bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside. In a bigger bowl mix sugar, banana and sunflower oil until smooth. Add the flour mixture and mix again until everything is well combined. Fill dough into a 20 cm/ 8 inch round baking tin and top with plum halves. Bake at 160°C / 320 °F for about 40 Minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
