This single serve Gluten Free Plum Cake is the perfect fall dessert when you need a little treat, but don’t want to bake a whole cake. Use seasonal plums and enjoy this mug cake!
I picked up a few plums at the Farmer’s Market and wasn’t sure what to do with them. I didn’t have enough to bake a a crisp or whole cake, so I thought it would be fun to try and make a single serving plum cake. It came out delicious and the entire dessert is completely gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free.

-1/4 tsp baking powder
-1/8 tsp cinnamon
-pinch of salt
-1 plum, cut in half and pitted
To make this single serve plum cake, you just mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.
Pour batter into a greased ramekin and press 2 halves of your plum, cut side up, into the batter.
Sprinkle with coconut sugar and bake on a baking sheet for 20-25 minutes at 350F until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool and enjoy!
Can I Make This Plum Cake in the Microwave?
I’m not sure as I haven’t tested this method. You could certainly try making it in the microwave. I’d suggest cooking it for 1 minute and checking it, then cooking at 30 second intervals after that if needed. If you try it out, leave a comment and let us know how it went!
