Easy Plum Cake Recipe: A Delicious & Simple Dessert

Ingredients

• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 0.5 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
• 1.5 tablespoons cinnamon sugar, or to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10-inch springform pan. Ensure all ingredients are prepped and ready to use.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Sift this dry mixture over the creamed butter mixture and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
4. Pour the cake batter into the prepared springform pan, spreading it evenly to create a smooth surface for the plum topping.
5. Arrange the plum slices decoratively on top of the batter, cut-side up. Sprinkle the plums evenly with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar for added flavor and a beautiful caramelized finish.
6. Bake in the preheated oven on the lowest rack for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. This indicates the cake is fully baked.
7. Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, or let it cool completely to room temperature. This easy plum cake is delicious any time!
