Instructions
💡 Tap a step to mark it donePreheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes. Grease a cake tin with butter and dust it lightly with flour, or line it with parchment paper.
Empty the Grain N Grace plum cake mix packet into a large mixing bowl.
Add 2 eggs to the mixing bowl and beat well using a whisk or electric beater until combined.
Pour in 100g of melted butter (or oil) and 100ml of milk. Mix everything together thoroughly until you get a smooth, lump-free batter.
Check the consistency of the batter. It should be of dropping consistency - neither too thick nor too runny. Add a little water if needed to adjust.
Pour the batter into the greased cake tin, filling it only up to 3/4th to allow room for the cake to rise.
Gently tap the tin on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles trapped in the batter.
Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake at 180°C for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove from oven and let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice and serve your delicious plum cake. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.

- Do not open the oven door during the first 30 minutes of baking as it may cause the cake to sink in the middle
- You can brush the cake with rum or brandy after baking for an authentic plum cake flavor
- Line the bottom of your cake tin with parchment paper for easy removal after baking
- For extra richness, you can add a handful of additional chopped nuts and dried fruits to the batter
