This slightly spiced plum yoghurt cake is one of my favourite summer time cakes. The plums make it slightly tart, but the cake is sweet and spiced with Pepper & Me Bakers Blend!
I love to serve it with natural yoghurt and a good cup of coffee! I have decorated with cake with freeze dried raspberries and dried rose petals.
