Flavorful Christmas Plum Cake

About the Recipe

A plum cake is made with dried fruits soaked in alcohol or orange juice for more than a day. This recipe shows you how to make a rich plum cake from dry fruits soaked in grape juice, and the cake gets its brown colour from the melted brown sugar syrup added to it. This recipe shows how to make a healthy plum cake without eggs, alcohol, or an oven. The plum cake is made perfectly spongy by using Oddy Ecobake to line the cooker used to bake the cake. Oddy Ecobake makes the baking process simple, convenient, and hassle-free.
