Recipe created by Niki Bakes.

Method

01
Butter a 20-22cm frying pan or skillet or cake tin with a little butter. Heat the oven to 180C and set aside.
02
Beat together the softened butter, sugar, vanilla extract for 5 mins, or until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition to combine, then fold through the flour.
03
Spoon the mixture into the skillet or cake tin and smooth over. Add your plum compote and feather slightly into the batter with a fork. Add your crushed hazelnuts on top and bake for 40-45 mins or until golden brown and firm. Serve warm with ice cream or even clotted cream in colder weather. ENJOY!
