A quick and simple moist, dense cake with the flavour of plums and brown sugar. Feel free to use any fruit or berries you like instead of the plums. I used half whole wheat and half all purpose flour when I made this and also used light cream cheese and fat free yogurt. Cup measurements are estimates as I normally use grams.
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar (120g)
1/2 cup cream cheese (100g)
2 eggs
1/2 cup yogurt (120g)
1 1/2 cups flour (170g)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
1 -2 cup plum, chopped (200g)
1 tablespoon flour
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350/180/Gas 4 and grease a round 9 inch/24cm pan.
2. Toss chopped plums (or other fruit) with 1 tablespoon flour.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and set aside.
4. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese to soften then beat in brown sugar.
5. Add eggs one at a time, beating throughly after each addition.
6. Add half the flour mix to the cheese mix and fold then add the yogurt and stir to combine.
7. Add the rest of the flour mix and beat until smooth.
8. Fold in the floured plums.
9. Spread batter into prepared pan and bake for around 30 minutes.
