  This recipe is really easy, very straight forward and very tasty. I did tweak it a little bit to what i had to hand in my cupboards, I omiited the brandy, and i used a splash of lemon juice rather than zest. As the plums i used were from my own tree, i sprinkled a little bit of caster sugar over the plum mix before adding the batter. I would use this recipe again. The dish i used to make my plum pudding was 20cm square by about 3-4 cm high, the batter mix was plenty, as mentioned before as i used my own plums, because of there size, i just halved and used about 20.

  The recipe above says '8 ripe plums' - surely not just 8 of them?

  I made this today and it was scrummy! I added a few drops of almond extract to the sponge mix and it was lovely. Hubby commented that the topping would be good on tinned cherry fruit pie filling too!

  Lovely pudding but next time will try Amaretto instead of the brandy, felt it overpowered the plum and almond flavours.

  too much lemon zest and no sugar in the fruit?! what a bitter outcome! although the sponge was lovely, so just ate that instead!

  Not enough plums and needs more sugar and less lemon! At least it gave my friend and I a laugh playing hunt the fruit! A disappointing recipe.

  Tasted great but definitely needed more than 8 plums, although mine were quite small. Only added 2 tbsp of brandy to the plums and they were lovely, just not enough of them!

  Very easy to make. Used this for a dinner party so pre-prepared and put in the fridge. Lemon and brandy give a lovely aroma and zing to the dish. One person had thirds it was so good. served with Jersey double cream.

  Made this today and was lovely. Only used 6 plums quartered as they were very large, and sponge mix took an extra 10 mins to cook through, but gorgeous result. Great recipe that I will make again.

  Really good! I used more plums than what the recipe called for since I used Italian prune plums and they are small. A great dessert for anyone who loves plums!

  I like this, but the first time I mad eit, it was far too bitter. I added 3 tablespoons of sugar and a bit more cinnamon to the plum mixture and that really softened this pudding. Its a lovely combination with the almonds. I'm fairly certain this will become a family favourite.
