New blood plum cake recipe perfect for afternoon tea

A new recipe has been released for a blood plum cake with a cardamom sugar crust. This cake is described as sweet and tart, making it ideal for afternoon tea. The recipe uses blood plums, which bring a unique flavor to the cake. It features a tender base made with sour cream and incorporates juicy plum slices. The cake is topped with a cardamom sugar that creates a shiny crust as it bakes. To make the cake, you'll need basic ingredients like flour, butter, sugar, eggs, and sour cream. You'll also need blood plums and cardamom for that special touch. The preparation involves mixing the wet ingredients, adding the dry ones, and arranging the plums on top of the batter. Baking takes around 50 minutes. Once done, let it cool before dusting with icing sugar. It can be served warm as a dessert or at room temperature for tea, with a bit of sour cream on the side.
