Summer Plum Cake
Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 12 medium Italian plums, halved and pitted
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar, or to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, which is equivalent to 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a 10-inch springform pan and give it a light coating of grease to prevent the cake from sticking.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and softened butter using an electric mixer. Continue beating until the mixture becomes light and airy, almost like whipped cream.
4
Add eggs one at a time to the bowl, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Beat well after each addition.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until they are well combined. Sift the dry ingredients over the butter mixture to create a uniform blend.
6
Transfer the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth out the top to create an even surface.
7
Arrange plums inside the batter, cut-side up, and sprinkle them evenly with a mixture of cinnamon and granulated sugar for added flavor.
8
Bake the cake in the preheated oven on the lowest rack, allowing it to cook for 40 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9
Serve the warm cake, either straight from the oven or cooled to room temperature.
