WOW did this cake rise or what!!?? The oven was smoking like crazy and probably about a 20th of the cake leaked out the bottom of the spring form tin. Mum thinks I put the tin together wrong which could probably be true! But thankfully it turned out great! It is basically a really buttery sponge cake with plums and a little saucy-ness on top! Love the cinnamon!! Love the plums!! Love the crunchy cinnamony top! The sponge cake part was really fluffy and yummy, although I was saying to Will for the amount of sugar and butter in it, it doesn't taste that bad for you! Which is kinda a waste! If you want to eat some really naughty dessert you want to make it count, if you know what I mean! Like if you were gonna eat that much butter and sugar, I would prefer some really rich divine delicious..thing..Does this make any sense?Anyway despite my big rave, I enjoyed the cake and hot out of the oven with some cream...delish..below is a pic of my plate after I massacred it a little!
Our guests, Bev, Jeff and Galley also enjoyed it, giving it a 9 out of 10!

A nice Autumn dish using juicy plums that are in season at the moment! Makes me think of leaves falling off trees and the chill in the air! Kinda a mix between summer fruits and hot winter fruit pies! Try it...it's goooood (probably cause its full of butter and lots of yummy things..)
Love the R+W stripped apron baker..
That looks so good, if i had to pick two words to describe it i would say 'country goodness'.... it looks like a good old fashioned country recipe yummmmm
