APPLE AND PLUM CAKE the simplest and most delicious dessert

Apple and plum cake soft, tender, and delicious. How good are Apple Cakes! And today, to make my Apple Cake even better, I added some sweet plums besides apples. The result was amazing! A soft, tender, and fragrant dessert that instantly filled my house with its irresistible aroma. Apples are known to always make desserts special, just like my Quick Apple Cakes or the Apple Muffins. A soft, moist inside, and very fragrant cake, perfect for breakfast, a snack, or any time of the day. I baked the cake in a 20 x 28 cm rectangular pan, but with the same doses, you can also use a 24-26 cm round pan. Have I already convinced you to try it? Let’s run to the kitchen and prepare a delicious Apple and Plum Cake together.

Loredana’s Tips

The Plum and Apple Cake stays soft and tender in a container for 2-3 days

If you prefer, you can replace the butter with 50 ml of seed oil and the milk with the same amount of plant milk or with a jar of plain yogurt
