German Plum Cake Recipe

If you’ve found yourself with too many plums at peak season, turn to this easy plum cake recipe.

You can eat this cake for breakfast. Or with a cuppa later in the day! It is delicious, fruity and not too sweet. A good dollop of yoghurt creates additional creaminess, as does a decadent vanilla icecream (if you’re serving the dish for dessert).
