SUMMER PLUM SHORTCAKE

SUMMER PLUM SHORTCAKE

We love plums and the Black Doris variety are a particular favourite. This shortcake recipe is very easy – just throw the ingredients into a food processor and you’ll have it in the oven in less than 15 minutes. Serve with a large scoop of yoghurt or ice cream. Simply divine!

  • 850g can Wattie’s Black Doris Plums in syrup, drained
  • 1½ cups ground almonds
  • 150g butter, softened
  • ½ cup caster sugar
  • 1½ cups self-raising flour
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup Craig’s Black Doris Plum Jam
  • ½ cup sliced almonds
  • icing sugar
  1. Preheat oven to 160ºC. Line the base of a 23cm loose-bottomed cake tin with baking paper. Halve plums and remove stones.
  2. Mix ground almonds, butter, caster sugar, self-raising flour and eggs in a food processor or with electric beaters until ingredients are combined. Press two-thirds of mixture over base of cake tin.
  3. Drop spoonfuls of plum jam over mixture and then place plum halves on top.
  4. Dot remaining shortcake mixture over plums. Sprinkle with sliced almonds.
  5. Bake for 55-60 minutes until cooked and golden. Cool in tin before removing. Serve dusted with icing sugar.
