Method

Step 1: Prepare the mixture

Break the eggs into a clean, dry bowl. Add the sugar, 1 level tsp of vanilla extract and whisk with a mixer at high speed for 5–6 minutes. (Be careful not to use the highest speed, especially if you’re using a food processor.) Add the rapeseed oil to the egg foam and stir with a spatula until all the ingredients are combined.

In a separate bowl, add the baking powder and flour, then mix with a spoon. Sieve into the egg mixture, add buttermilk and mix well with a spatula until all the ingredients are combined. Don’t overmix!

Step 2: Bake

Spoon the mixture evenly into a 24 or 25cm cake tin. Lay the plums on top, gently pressing them into the mixture. Place the pan on the lowest rack of a preheated oven. Bake at 170°C (gas mark 3) for 60–65 minutes.

After taking the cake out of the oven, set aside to cool completely. Carefully take the cooled cake out of the pan. Use a knife to separate the cake from the edges of the pan.

Dust with icing sugar before serving.

Enjoy!
