Peach and Plum Summer Cake
Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter, or as needed
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar, divided
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 extra large eggs
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 5 medium ripe plums, pitted and sliced
  • 3 large ripe peaches - peeled, pitted, and sliced
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or 175 degrees Celsius, for optimal baking results.
2
Next, prepare a 9-inch square baking dish by applying a thin layer of butter to its surface.
3
To create the cake mixture, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 stick of butter in a large mixing bowl. Utilize an electric mixer to blend these ingredients until they achieve a light and fluffy texture.
4
Introduce eggs one at a time, blending each addition thoroughly before proceeding to the next.
5
Add 1 cup of yogurt and a dash of vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring until it reaches a smooth consistency.
6
In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup of sugar and a pinch of cinnamon.
7
Mix the dry ingredients - 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt - into the cake mixture until just combined.
8
Spread the batter evenly across the prepared baking dish, followed by a generous sprinkling of 1/2 the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
9
Top the batter with sliced plums and peaches, finishing off by sprinkling the remaining 1/2 of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
10
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes to an hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
11
Ensure that the cake does not overbake, as this can result in an unpleasant texture.
12
Serve the warm cake or let it cool to room temperature for a delightful dessert experience.
