If you’re looking for a cake recipe that’s gluten-free, quick, and easy, leaving you with very little mess in the kitchen, the good news is you don’t need to look any further! This gluten-free plum cake has become a family favorite that we keep making over and over again, and it comes out great every time!
I love how light, fruity, moist, and fragrant it is. I want to call it the most delicious cake I’ve ever made, but it’s a tie between this one and my Orange Spice Olive Oil Cake, which I also adore. Besides the clean and minimal list of ingredients, what I love most about it is how simple it is to make. You only need one bowl and it takes you less than 30 minutes from start to finish, including the cleanup! The hardest part is waiting 45 minutes for the cake to bake and 15-30 minutes for it to cool down before you can dive in! But I’m telling you, it’s absolutely worth the wait!
I used plums in these photos, but I’ve also made it with apples and pears and it turned out equally delicious. I bet cherries and berries would work great as well!
Hope you get to try and enjoy this tasty gluten-free plum cake! And if you do, don’t forget to leave a comment below or tag me @nutriholist on Instagram or Facebook and let me know.
