Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup buttermilk
• 1.5 cups plums, diced
• 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the diced plums and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve the Chocolate Plum Pudding Cake as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
