The bloody Halloween plum cake was partly conceived because I waited until the last days to prepare something and also because I wanted to make a different dessert.
It’s a super tasty plum cake, the only difference is that you need to get some red food coloring to make it bloody like mine.
These days we need to take inspiration from some simple recipes to make them fun and scary, suitable for this holiday.
Try making the bloody Halloween plum cake yourself and let me know if you liked it!!!
