Grilled Seasonal Stone Fruit Milk Cake

This fluffy, mouth-wateringly good cake is topped with roasted stone fruit, and doubles as  a stunning centerpiece. Created by UK recipe creator and photographer, Suze Morrison (gourmetglow), this cake is soaked in sweet milk which makes each slice incredibly moist, yet light and airy. The plums are roasted until charred and juicy, making them the perfect topping on this holiday stunner. 

We think of this dessert as a cross between an angel food cake and a tres leches cake, which gives it the best of texture and taste. Whipped eggs give the cake a lovely airiness that helps it rise up just like angel food cake. Similar to tres leches, this cake is cooked until golden brown, then covered in a combination of evaporated, condensed and whole milk, and  left to rest until it’s completely soaked through..  

Of course, this cake wouldn’t be complete without roasted fruit – we’ve chosen winter plums here, but any seasonal stone fruit will work just fine. The fruit is cooked in a cast iron skillet to make it wonderfully blistered, charred and extra juicy.

Note

Pro tip: Suze takes the leftover juice and drizzles it over the cake, similar to a fire-roasted coulis – a sauce made from fruit or vegetables.
