Notes
- You can use any oil (neutral flavour) instead of olive oil.
- If you wish to add butter, use unsalted butter or ghee (Melt it and cool it before using)
- Honey can be replaced by sugar and/or jaggery. Taste and add especially when using sweet and tart fresh fruits while baking.
- This cake tastes best within 48 hours since it contains fresh fruit. Refrigerate the cake after it has cooled down and / or if you have leftovers.
- If you feel the plums are very tart, reduce the quantity to 1/2 cup instead of 1 cup and increase the quantity of honey slightly (say 1 or 2 tbsp). However, if you are okay with the sweet and tart flavour, keep the measurements as it is.
- You can add cow milk instead of coconut milk. It should be at room temperature. You can use canned coconut milk too instead of fresh.
