Curiosity

The term “plumcake” comes from the English “plum cake,” which originally referred to a cake with plums (plums). However, the plumcake has taken on various forms and versions, both sweet and savory, in different countries, including Italy, where it is often made in a savory version with ingredients typical of Mediterranean cuisine.

To give it an extra touch and pair it with something fresh, serve it with a yogurt sauce or a simple seasonal salad. Enjoy your meal!
