    Keto Plum Upside Down Cake is a simple to make, low carb, yummy, caramelized upside-down cake made with plums instead of high carb pineapple. This cake also has paleo version.

    A keto plum upside down cake that is low in carbs and simple to prepare in a cake pan. Even with my limited decorating skills and overly ripe plums from my neighbor’s plum tree, this cake still turned out really beautiful!

    My neighbor has a large plum tree and brought me a big bag of tree-ripe plums and there was no possibility of eating them all before they spoiled.

    I did chop some of them to freeze for later but thought I should also bake something with them.

    Keto caramelized Plum Upside Down Cake

    I have not really made many recipes with plums before except for fruit crisps and jam.

    So, I was not exactly sure If I could just swap out pineapple with plums. 

    I have to admit that I liked it even more than the pineapple cake!

    Common Questions About This Recipe

    Are plums keto?

    Plums on there own are lower carb, but not exactly keto. However, there are 8 slices of this cake and 5 plums in the whole recipe, so you are only getting a few slices of a plum per serving and not an entire plum. This makes this recipe more keto friendly.

    Can I swap the brown sweetener for the regular granular low carb sweetener?

    Yes, you can use the regular low carb sweetener for both the cake batter and the caramelized fruit bottom. I used brown because I had some leftover and I thought it might brown even better.

    Can I use frozen plums?

    Yes, you use frozen defrosted plums in the recipe.

    Can I do any design with the plums?

    I did a non-over lapping spiral shape, but you can do whatever shape you want. Just be aware that some intricate designs may involve overlapping and you will run out of plums slices. I would not add more unless you are paleo and not counting carbs.

      I love baked goods with plums in them. I've never thought of an upside down plum cake but it makes so much sense! Can't wait to try it.
