Description

This gluten-free plum cake stays moist and delicious with cornmeal and ground almonds in place of flour and an orange syrup.

Method

Step 1 of 3

Pre-heat the oven to 170°C. Grease and line a loose bottomed round baking tin with parchment. Whisk the cornmeal, almonds, sugar, baking powder and orange zest together in a large bowl.

Step 2 of 3

Combine the canola oil, eggs and vanilla in another bowl. Pour this mix into the dry ingredients and mix well. Pour the batter into the baking tin and top with plum halves, cut side down. Bake for 35 minutes, reduce the heat to 160°C and bake for 35 minutes longer, covering with foil for the last 10 minutes.

Step 3 of 3

Heat the orange juice and honey in a small saucepan on high heat. Bring to the boil and cook for 2-3 minutes until reduced. Allow the cake to rest for 10 minutes, poke holes in the top with a skewer and evenly pour over the syrup. Leave to cool before slicing.
