Chocolate, plums and a hint of orange
This rich chocolate cake is packed with juicy plums, with fruit in practically every slice. As the cake bakes, the plums soften and release their juices into the chocolate batter, helping the crumb stay wonderfully moist and tender.
Cocoa and chocolate give the cake its deep, intense flavor, while a subtle touch of orange adds freshness without overpowering the chocolate and fruit. The combination of sweet-tart plums, rich cocoa and citrus works beautifully together.
A smooth chocolate glaze finishes the cake and makes it even more indulgent. It's a wonderful choice for an afternoon coffee, a family gathering or whenever you have plenty of ripe plums and want to turn them into something seriously chocolatey.
Serve it at room temperature, when the cake is soft and the aromas of chocolate and orange are at their best.
