Where To Get That Perfect Plum Cake (list compiled by FOOD LOVERS mag):

With the season of indulgence right around the corner, Food Lovers rounds up a list of home bakers who whip up plum cakes tailor-made to get you in the festive spirit.

1. Leela D’Souza & Michelle Gafoor
The mother-daughter duo has been baking delicious plum cakes for years now, following a family recipe that has been handed down over several generations. They believe that “good ingredients and absolutely no compromise on quality” makes their plum cakes special. Their cakes are known for being incredibly moist, and can last for up to six months. Each kilo is priced at Rs 650, with half kilo options available too.
To place orders, call Michelle Gafoor on 98450-92630 or Leela D’Souza on 2546-9823

2. Sini Thomas of Homemade Delite
Sini Thomas was a home baker for many years, before she started taking orders for her plum cakes in 2008. She makes two kinds of cake – the first using the traditional liquor-boiled fruits, and the other minus the alcohol. She says that “the spice mix, butter and fruits make all the difference” when it comes to her cakes, which are priced at Rs 500 per kilo.
To place orders, mail Sini Thomas at homemade.delite@gmail.com

3. Lorraine Correa
Lorraine Correa, a well-known name in the plum cake business, soaks her fruits right at the beginning of the year for that burst of flavour. But she insists her secret is the care she puts in while making the cakes. She explains, “I was a nurse by profession, and started making cakes for my older patients as I realised they didn't really have anyone to bake for them.”Her cakes are priced at Rs 600 a kilo, and come in half kilo options as well.
Call Lorraine Correa at 98452-63597 to place orders.

4. Marina Charles
Marina Charles’s baking days began from when she was a child, when she used to help her mother make sugary treats. Her cakes are made following a family recipe, which includes a unique spice mix and year-old fruits soaked in rum and caramel syrup, which are “stored in a ceramic container and stirred once a year,” she reveals. Her cakes are priced at Rs. 475 a kilo.
To place orders, call Marina Charles at 9379398865.

5. Geetha Krishnan, The Fragrant Kitchen
Geetha Krishnan offers rich plum cake with fondant for the season. The experienced baker uses a family recipe that doesn't work if “it’s not made from the heart,” she quips. Her cakes are priced at Rs 500 per kilo.
To place orders, email Geetha Krishnan at orders@fragrantkitchen.in

Will add some more lists after scanning previous issues of FOOD LOVERS.
