This plum and rhubarb cake is sweet, moist, and delicious!
What do you do when the nice lady at the farmer’s market gives your little boy a whole bag of plums because it’s ‘great to see a kid who loves fruit’?
I mean there are only so many plums one small boy can consume before there are… er… consequences!
So instead of letting him scoff the great big bag of plums on his own, I decided I had better make a plum cake, but not just any plum cake, a plum and rhubarb cake!
This plum and rhubarb cake is super moist and almost more like a slice than a cake, but whatever you call it, it’s delicious!
I was able to use up a load of plums, some left over cream cheese, and I added a few sticks of rhubarb because everything tastes better with rhubarb in it… and the cake/slice was divine!
You bake this cake in a brownie or lamington tin, something around 30.5 x 20.5cms (12 x 8 inches), making a large flat cake. That way the cake cooks all the way through without drying out too much.
You could switch out the plums for nectarines or even peaches if you like, both would work well with the tartness of the rhubarb.

This cake comes out so moist and delicious, it’s like having cream cheese icing on the inside of the cake!
And it’s full of fruit… so that makes it healthy right??

That looks so delicious! I actually love fruit and so I probably would eat the bag of plums and suffer later. LOL
I made this recipe last week for the parents’ morning tea at Play Group, but replaced the plums with nectarines, as that’s all I had. Yum!
