Plum cake always reminds me of my childhood with my parents. I'll never forget the wonderful smell of my mum's freshly baked cakes. After apricot cake, plum cake is my favourite fruit cake. The fruit is so versatile and a real treat once baked. If you like, you can add a scoop of ice cream to this lukewarm tart in summer.
