Kitchen Project #115: Plum, brown sugar & ricotta cake

I’m just dropping in with a divinely simple recipe this week, a quick one-bowl cake that you can mix by hand: Super fluffy plum, brown sugar and ricotta cake, aka the first bake of my new house. It’s a super tender sponge packed with flavour and there’s lessons to be learned about adapting your own recipes from it! Over on KP+, the ultra-talented pastry chef Marie Havnø Frank shares a stunning autumnal Greengage Tart with plum kernel pastry cream. It’s a total showstopper. Click here to make it! What’s KP+?
