Plum cake - Rich and Flavourful Desserts

I always feel bad throwing out fruits that ripen too quickly, especially when they’re sweet and flavourful. So when my plums started softening, I decided it was time to use them in a dessert. I’ve been avoiding processed sugar it’s been difficult finding the right recipe. I’ve decided to use maple syrup to sweeten the cake since it’s better for your heart health. Paired with cinnamon and plums, this cake is a flavourful twist on fruit cakes. Give this recipe a try!
