One of the reasons we fell in love with our house was the garden, with its fig, apple and plum trees. I think the plum variety is Jubilee, but she's a temperamental old thing and in recent years has flowered and fruited biennially.
This year has been a fallow year. Usually by now I'd have made endless jars of jam (my favourite recipe being plum and earl grey), ice cream, crumbles, compote, and cake after cake after cake - anything to use up the vast quantities that fill every bowl we own.. But I've been more selective this year, buying just a few to eat or use as we choose rather than out of necessity.
Having said that, I've made this cake three times this week, tweaking the recipe a bit here and there until it's just about perfect. Plums seem to take on a different personality depending on what you put them with - I do love a versatile fruit - and my favourite combination is plum and rose.
I have a lovely recipe for plum and rose jam, which'll have to be put away for next year. You can see this here - https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/2346821-plum-and-earl-grey-jam.

Ingredients and spices that need to be Make ready to make Plum & almond cake with rosewater icing:
- 100 g softened butter
- 100 g caster sugar
- Grated zest of 1 lemon
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 125 g self raising flour

- 1/2 tsp mixed spice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 30 g ground almonds

Steps to make Plum & almond cake with rosewater icing
- Preheat the oven to 170C. Butter and line a loaf tin (I use shop-bought loaf tin liners. Much quicker).
- Cream together the butter and the sugar until pale and creamy, then mix in the lemon zest.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, mixed spice and salt, then mix in the ground almonds.
- Mix the eggs into the butter/sugar in thirds - a third of the egg mixture with a small spoon of the flour mixture, a third more eggs, more flour etc.
- When all blended together, stir in the plums.
- Scrape the mixture into the loaf tin, smooth the top, then scatter over the flaked almonds.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes, testing with a skewer for doneness (I love that word). Return to the oven if a skewer comes out sticky.
- When cooked, put the tin on a rack to cool for 20 minutes before taking the loaf out of the tin.
- Sift the icing sugar into a small bowl. In a cup, mix together the rosewater and the warm water, and gradually add this to the icing sugar. Stir until you have a smooth, quite runny icing.
- Pour or drizzle the icing over the loaf and leave to set.
