Chocolate Plum Cake
Our latest take on the upside down cake, this chocolate plum cake is a must-try! The combination of fresh fruit, chocolate and ground almond give it texture and keep it nice and moist. Black Doris plums are perfect for this but feel free to substitute with your favourite seasonal stone fruit.
