Black Doris Plums in Syrup

Generations of Kiwis have loved Black Doris Plums. Wattie's makes sure this continues, picking only the finest plums from Hawke's Bay orchards.

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180°C.

Step 2

1. Drain the Wattie's Black Doris Plums well and then squash or cut in half and remove the stone. Leave in the sieve to drain while making the cake.

Step 3

2. Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla essence until light and creamy. Add the eggs one a time and beat well after each addition.

Step 4

3. Sift 2 cups of the flour and baking powder together and stir into the creamed mixture.

Step 5

4. Spread 3/4s of the mixture on the base of a well-greased and paper lined 23-24cm spring-form cake tin.

Step 6

5. Arrange the plums over the base of the cake mixture.

Step 7

6. Add the coconut, cinnamon and the remaining 1/2 cup of flour to the remaining cake mixture and work together to form crumbs. Sprinkle over the top of the plums. Bake for 1 hour. Serve dusted with icing sugar.
