Homemade plum and almond cake

Inspired by that lovely cake I had at Bean and Bud I made a plum and almond cake. I couldn't be bothered searching through all my cookery books so I found this recipe online and it worked a treat.
I substituted the teaspoon of vanilla for a teaspoon of almond essence as I like my plum cake almondy.


Because the oven is not as hot as it should be, (needing a service again) my cake was a little moist in the middle, however it still makes good eating and is nice on it's own or as I found last night... good with custard too!
