BERT and I love this time of the year with all the delicious fruits on offer; especially plums.  This is a very easy recipe to make and a lovely dessert. 

PLUM SPONGE CAKE
 
Ingredients
8-10 plums, stones removed
200 grams of caster sugar
4 large free range eggs, lightly beaten
One cup of a mild olive oil
1 teaspoon of vanilla bean extract
1 teaspoon of lemon zest
2 tablespoons of plain natural yoghurt
250 grams of self-raising flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
 
Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees.
  2. Grease and line a 20 x 30 cm baking tray with parchment paper.
  3. Chop the plums into halves or quarters and remove the stones.
  4. Put the beaten eggs & sugar into a bowl and whisk well until the mixture starts to thicken.
  5. Gradually pour in the oil and vanilla, and keep whisking until the mixture is pale.and creamy.
  6. Add in the lemon zest and yogurt.  Mix well.
  7. Sift in the flour and baking powder and gently fold or mix with a metal spoon until the flour is incorporated.
  8. Pour the batter into the tray and gently press the plums into the batter.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes.
 
Enjoy!
