Learn the simple steps to make the best plum desserts at home- A hearty plum cake recipe

Well, now let us learn to make plum cake at home. Do not worry because we have got you covered. Making plum cake is not that big a deal if you are aware of the right things to do. Begin with soaking the nuts and the dried fruits. Of course, overnight is the best but if you lack time then a few hours shall even do the job. Take all the nuts and whatever dried fruits you are planning to add to a bowl. This could include some cashews, raisins, dates, almonds, and black currants. Some pistachios, cherries, etc, should not be missed out on.

In fact, this whole thing depends on your choice. Once you have soaked all the dried fruits and they are tender, now it is time for the blending. Finely chop the nuts and the bigger pieces in a bowl. You cannot have large and chunky pieces of nuts and dried fruits floating in the crust so do not skip the step of shredding them first. Soak the dried fruits in the fruit juice or the pulp that you have extracted from the pulp.

How to prepare the caramel solution

Some sugar and water are taken in a saucepan. You can either use brown sugar or white sugar for this purpose. Add some jaggery to the solution, mix well, and then set the pot on low heat. Slowly bring the solution to a boil over low heat. Make sure you are not hurrying through the process as this can end up with a burnt base and a sticky solution of caramel.

How to make the batter for the plum cake- finish it off by baking

Preheat the oven to 180°C first. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper and brush some oil on the surface of it. Do this about fifteen minutes before the process of baking. To make the batter, you will need some wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon powder, clove, nutmeg powder, and cardamom powder for seasoning. Mix the dry ingredients, and add the nut mixture along with the caramel solution. Fold everything well but do not over-mix anything.

Now that you have formed a smooth and sweet batter, it is time to bake. Once baking is done, you will see that cracks have formed on the surface! This is an indication that your cake is ready. Here are other plum dessert recipes that are as easy as the one we just tried out. Best Plum Desserts can only be made if you go through the recipes well. So begin quickly.
