I shared Omana Paul’s Plum Cake Recipe last year and quite a few people have tried it and shared feedback. However, as with any other cake recipe, I also got a ton of requests for an eggless plum cake recipe. I don’t like slaving over anything in the kitchen and most of the recipes I saw online for eggless plum cakes were lengthy and required quite a lot of ingredients. So I decided to adapt what I thought looked good and make it simpler. I am super happy with the result although the top of my cake burned a little bit. I should’ve covered the baking tray with some aluminium foil but I realised I was all out of foil and just had to leave the cake to its fate. It didn’t turn out too bad though, the slight bitterness added more character to the cake 😉 I baked mini loaves of these eggless plum cakes to give away and kept just 3 pieces for TH and I. I didn’t take step by step pictures either but will surely update it as soon as I bake these again. This recipe is loosely adapted from Food.com. Check here for more Christmas recipes including no bake chocolate biscuit balls, chocolate crinkle cookies, tutti frutti cake, etc. Notes: – this eggless plum cake is denser than your regular cakes so don’t expect light and fluffy. Think a moist, dense, and delicious fruit cake! – you can add a tablespoon or two of rum or brandy to the cake and make it taste “better”. – the cake is sweet on its own but if you want to frost it, reduce the amount of sugar in the cake batter. – I got a few questions on the colour of the eggless fruit cake. Mine is a darker brown because I used very dark and moist brown sugar. Also, my dates were a dark colour as were the raisins (and I used a lot of raisins). These are the two reasons why I feel the colour of the cake may be affected. I should also probably add that the top of my cake burnt a little giving it that almost black colour. Usually the colour of fruit cake comes from caramelising sugar which we don’t do in this cake. You can definitely do that though, just follow steps in my Christmas fruit cake recipe.
