Plum cake!

Plum cake!

You will need:

12 ripe prunes, pitted and peeled

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 orange (grated peel and orange juice)

100 g brown sugar

125 g butter, cubed

150 g flour

25 g oats

3 tbsp chopped toasted hazelnuts

cream or ice cream, for serving

STEP 1

Preheat the oven to 160 degrees. Put the plums, cinnamon, orange zest and juice, half the sugar in a bowl and mix. Put the plums in the bottom of a fireproof dish so that they fit snugly and add 50g of the butter.

STEP 2

Stir the rest of the butter into the flour until it becomes coarse sand. In a separate bowl, stir together the remaining sugar, oats and hazelnuts. Sprinkle this mixture over the plums. Bake for 20-25 minutes in a moderate oven. If desired, serve with cream or ice cream.
