Plum Cake is a rich, moist cake traditionally made with dried fruits, particularly plums, and often includes spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. It is commonly enjoyed during festive occasions, especially around Christmas. The cake can be made with various types of flour and may include nuts, giving it a hearty texture. The preparation of plum cake typically involves soaking the dried fruits in alcohol, such as brandy or rum, to enhance the flavor. After mixing the ingredients, the cake is baked slowly to ensure even cooking. Once cooled, it can be decorated with icing or left plain, making it a versatile dessert.
