Easy Ginger Plum Upside Down Cake

This Easy Ginger Plum Upside Down Cake is a just what you need when the gorgeous plums are in town. Perfect for evening tea, snack box or as a party dessert along with some ice cream.

Stone fruits are my soul food, whether it is the peach, mango, litchi or plums. I adore them, I love to eat them. I also love to cook and bake with them. And this plum season I have already made this Ginger and Plum Upside Down Cake three times. It is easy, delicious and has been wiped down every time.

And after making it three times when I was editing the pictures of the cake, the child asked me if I can make it again. Yes, that is how much we have loved this cake.

And it is so simple to make. One pan to make caramel and one to mix the cake batter. All it takes it 15 minutes to assemble the cake and for me that includes the time I took to chop plums.
