How to Make Plum and almond cake | Waitrose

Put flour into a large bowl.

Add ground almonds, softened and cubed butter, sugar, almond extract (1 teaspoon), and 3 eggs.

Whisk together until smooth and well blended.

Stir in chopped plums (stones removed and roughly chopped).

Transfer the mixture to a lined nonstick loaf tin, smoothing out the surface.

Bake in the oven for about 1.5 hours.

Let the cake cool completely.

Prepare the topping by warming plum jam gently.

Slice 3 plums into small wedges for decoration.

Sieve the melted jam to remove lumps.

Move the cooled cake onto a plate.

Brush the top of the cake with some of the jam to help the plums stick.

Arrange the plum wedges over the top of the cake.

Brush a little more jam over the plums for shine.

Finish with a sprinkling of toasted almonds.
