Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup buttermilk
- 1.5 cups plums, diced
- 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the diced plums and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Chocolate Plum Pudding Cake as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
