eggless plum cake recipe with step by step photos. the recipe of this egg free fresh plum cake is easy to make. fresh plums are also known as alu bukhara in hindi.

i am posting this step by step eggless plum cake recipe for the festive season. it’s christmas time and one sees a lot of cakes, cookies and chocolate all around. so thought of sharing the recipe which i had made some weeks before.

i have fond memories of celebrating christmas in school. since i was in a christian school so the decoration of our classrooms, christmas tree, making the crib, singing the carols were a few rituals i have grown up with.

as i have mentioned above this super delicious easy vegan cake is made with fresh plums. so please do not confuse it with the mix fruit cake, commonly known as plum cake or the kerala plum cake. if interested then i have shared 3 versions of mix fruit cake including the kerala version and all of them are egg free:

• christmas fruit cake
  
• kerala plum cake
• wine fruit cake

i made some plum jam from the plums and the from the rest of the plums, i made this plum cake. the cake was too good and is soft with a bit of crumbly texture. the cake also has some spice to it in the form of cinnamon powder and grated nutmeg.

this eggless plum cake recipe is also a dairy free version and vegan recipe. what makes the cake rise is a mixture of vinegar and baking soda which helps in aeration of the batter and makes the cake light and soft. the same cake recipe can be used to make a mix fruit cake or even the kerala plum cake minus the rum or wine.

i took the step by step pics late in the evening and it was already dark. so in fluorescent lighting the pics don’t look that good but will surely help you in seeing the texture and consistency of the cake batter.

2. instead of oil you can use butter.
3. some more dry fruits like raisins, apricots, walnuts, almonds or dry fruits of your choice can be added to the cake.
4. the 3/4th cup sugar makes the cake just sweet. but not sweet enough for a cake. add 1 cup sugar to get the right amount of sweetness.
