This Spiced Plum Custard Cake recipe is a great cake to bake as Fall starts to close in. In fact, I usually make it for my mother’s birthday at the beginning of October each year. It is a cake which goes down a treat with a crowd – it is moist, rich and decadent and it improves the longer you leave it to set. You can easily make this cake the day before you need it.
I make this cake in two parts – I start my making the base which I top with spiced plums. I bake this in the oven for about 20-25 minutes. While the base is cooking, I make the custard filling. Once I have poured the custard into the pan, I bake for another 20-25 minutes. Personally I love this cake served cold from the fridge so that the custard has set.
To make Spiced Plum Custard Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Lightly grease an 7 inch springform pan.
Mix the plums gently with cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg and place to one side.
Mix the flour, sugar and baking powder together in a large bowl. Cut in the butter cubes until coarse crumbs form.
Stir in the vanilla, cream and egg until the ingredients are well combined.
Place the mixture in the baking pan and press in well using your fingers. Place the plums on top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes.
While the cake is cooking, whisk the cream, sugar, vanilla and egg yolks together.
Once the base is cooked, remove the cake from the oven and pour in the custard topping. Return the cake to the oven and continue baking for another 20-25 minutes until the custard sets.
Cool before serving.
