Method

Gluten-free plum and coconut cake
  • 1
    Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Grease and line a 21cm diameter cake tin.
  • 2
    Beat the butter and sugar together until light and creamy, then add the egg, beating some more until it is fluffy and increased in volume.
  • 3
    Add the flour, baking powder and salt, then stir gently until combined to form a smooth batter.
  • 4
    Lastly, stir through the shredded coconut and spoon the batter into the tin. Spread evenly.
  • 5
    Cover the tin and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or preferably overnight.
  • 6
    Arrange the plums like a wreath on top of the now-set batter, making sure the fruit doesn’t touch the sides of the tin.
  • 7
    Combine the ingredients for the coconut topping and sprinkle this in an even layer over the cake.
  • 8
    Bake in the middle of the oven for 35-45 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centre is set.
  • 9
    Serve warm or cold with whipped cream.
