If you really wanted to avoid caramelizing just replace the whole sugar mentioned in the recipe with brown sugar. But I must tell you that the taste, flavour, colour and texture will definitely very different from the original plum cake.

I have a question about beating the eggs. You mention here we should beat the whites separately until stiff. Are you referring to 'stiff peaks' since I don't have a motorized hand blender and it seems like a lot of effort to get the stiffness using a regular, manual blender. Is this the best way it should be done or do you recommend an alternative way to get the stiff egg whites? Thanks a lot for your time and inputs.
