I love this recipe because it combines my favourite flavours and is such a versatile recipe! Also, it went down brilliantly with my flatmates and friends. The almonds add a little crunch, and the slight sourness of the plums is balanced perfectly by the creamy sweetness of the custard. Plus, the custard makes sure the cake doesn’t become dry. I added a little granulated brown sugar to add extra crunch, and added the plum halves from the start to make sure they caramelised properly, both of which worked perfectly.
