You can smell it before you see it.
The warmth of baked fruits, the whispers of cinnamon, the richness of something that isn’t just cake—it’s memory. In Kerala homes and bakeries, from November onwards, you know Christmas is near… not by the calendar, but by the first whiff of plum cake.
And more often than not, it’s an Elite Plum Cake that kicks off the season.
We don’t always hang mistletoe or build snowmen. But come December, there’s always that one red-and-gold box on the shelf, waiting to be opened, sliced, and shared. Some send it across seas. Some pass it through balconies. Some just sit at the kitchen table, one plate, two forks, zero fuss.
Plum cake isn’t a dessert. It’s how South India marks the most wonderful time of the year.
And here’s why Elite’s version hits home—every single time.
