Autumn is here, not sure how you feel about it? Me neither! If you are looking for a quick and easy fluffy plum cake for breakfast this autumn, don’t look any further. This moist, deliciously and naturally sweet plum cake will make you forget the hot summer and travel directly to the autumn tastes.
This cake is so quick and delicious, you’ll bake it again and again as soon as it’s over. The sweetness of the figs and crunchiness of the pistachios are just the perfect delicious combo for starting the autumn with the right kick. It easily get vegan, by substituting condensed milk with coconut cream (add 50 gr of honey in this case) or vegan condensed milk. Believe me when I say it won’t last long on the kitchen counter, but if it does, it will still be perfectly moist after a week!
“To eat figs off the tree in the very early morning, when they have been barely touched by the sun, is one of the exquisite pleasures of the Mediterranean.”

I do have a scientific mind, probably it’s the reason why I love to hide in the kitchen and start creating.
