Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 3, 170°C, 150°C fan. Grease and line a 900g loaf tin with nonstick baking paper.
- In a bowl, beat the butter and sugar, until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until incorporated.
- Fold through the flour and ground almonds, followed by the almond extract and chopped plums. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and top with sliced plums and flaked almonds.
- Bake for 1 hour 30 mins, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins, then transfer to a wire rack. Brush the jam over the cake and leave to cool completely. Serve in slices.
