- Put the caster sugar, eggs, oil and almond extract into a mixing bowl and whisk together well for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Sift in the flour and baking powder and gently fold or mix with a metal spoon until all the flour is incorporated.
- Pour the muffin batter carefully into the cases (or use an ice cream scoop) and gently press a few chopped plum pieces into the batter of each case. Sprinkle a few flaked almonds over each muffin.
- Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the centre of the muffins.
- Leave to cool. Dust the muffins with icing sugar mixed with a teaspoon of cinnamon and serve with cream or warm custard.
