Plum cake with cardamom

The sweet cycle continued. Category: plum cake, probably my favourite. Sour fruit and slightly cardamom aroma. Really an autumn combination – perfect. Making this cake takes less time than preheating the oven.

Little work and the result…overpowering!

Ingredients
1 ½ cups wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
5 tbsp butte
¾ cup brown sugar + 3 tbsp to sprinkle the top
2 eggs
1/3 cup oilseed rape oil
vanilla essence
some plums to put on the top


Method
In one bowl combine all the dry ingredients, sift. In another bowl beat the butter with sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and oil. Gradually add dry ingredients. Spoon the batter to greased and floured cake pan. Put plums cut in half on top, sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 360 F/180 oC for about 30-40 min. Before taking the cake out from the cake pan wait about 10 min. Cooled cake cover with lemon icing
