Ingredients

6 large, ripe plums, de-pipped and quartered 
45 ml freshly squeezed orange juice 
80 g demerara sugar (or any unrefined, treacle sugar) 
2 large eggs 
220 g castor sugar 
150 g cake flour 
10 ml  baking powder 
60 ml sour cream
125 g unsalted butter, melted 
5 ml vanilla extract 
icing sugar for dusting 
fresh cream for serving 

Recipe

Serves 6-8 

Preheat the oven to 180°C. 

Place the plums, orange juice and sugar in an ovenproof dish and mix together well. 

Using an electric beater, beat together the eggs and castor sugar in a mixing bowl until pale and creamy. Sift the flour and baking powder over the mixture and beat lightly. Fold in the sour cream, melted butter and vanilla. Spoon the mixture over the plums and smooth the surface with a spatula. 

Bake for 45-50 minutes. Using a spatula, gently loosen the sides of the pudding and allow to cool a little before tipping out onto a round platter. Dust with icing sugar. Serve warm with fresh cream.
