"I have tweaked this recipe from BBC Good Food slightly. The amount of plums listed in their version was not enough to cover the bottom of the baking dish!"

ingredients

1 lb plum, quartered and pitted
1 pinch ground cinnamon
2 lemons, zest removed
4 tablespoons brandy
100 g butter, softened
100 g light brown sugar
2 eggs
100 g self-raising flour
50 g almonds, ground
3 tablespoons almonds, flaked

directions

Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Toss the plums, cinnamon, lemon zest and brandy together in a bowl, then leave to macerate while you make the batter.
Cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, then tip in the flour and ground almonds.
Mix until completely combined.
Tip the fruit into a buttered shallow baking dish, spoon over the cake batter, then sprinkle with the flaked almonds.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Test if the pudding is ready by inserting a skewer.
If it comes out clean, the pudding is ready; if not, give the pudding a few more minutes.
Remove from the oven and serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

I live with my husband, four cats, and a sweet mutt named Jada in Scarborough, Ontario, where I work as an elementary school administrative assistant. I have a 31 year old daughter who lives with her boyfriend in nearby Don Mills, along with my sweet granddogs, Frankie and Turbo. I would have to say that my passion is animals, since I have so many of them! <img src=http://images.quizilla.com/H/h0t5auce/1108834307_brown_answer.jpg alt= /> <img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/532663/cookswithcattitude.JPG alt= /> <img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/CalendarGirlsSwap2009.jpg alt= /> If I had a month off work to do what I please, I would first catch up on my sleep and then just have fun - see a few movies and maybe take a couple of short trips - something that wouldn't break the bank - lol!
