The classic plum cake is a dream dessert! But I've come up with a special twist on this fruit cake by pairing the classic version with another traditional cake – the cheesecake. The fruity plums go beautifully with the tropical coconut milk and the hint of cinnamon makes this cake my new Sunday favourite.
