Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 150 grams Brown sugar
- 120 ml Vegetable oil (neutral, like sunflower or canola)
- 200 ml Unsweetened almond milk (or any dairy-free milk)
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 300 grams Fresh plums, pitted and chopped
- 50 grams Chopped walnuts (optional)
- 50 grams Raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and lightly grease and line a 9-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir well and let it sit for 5 minutes to curdle, creating a dairy-free buttermilk.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the brown sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and the prepared dairy-free buttermilk until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped plums, walnuts, and raisins (if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the plumcake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve as a delightful dessert or with a cup of tea!
