Black Plum Cake
A beautiful summer cake, this Fresh Plum Cake is easy to make and truly delicious. We use black plums here, but you can make it with any plums you choose, or a mix of other stone fruit, including apricots, pluots, peaches and nectarines.
Ingredients
- 4-5 black plums
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup milk
- 4 tsp additional sugar divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 C)
- Halve, pit and quarter the black plums.
- Mix together in a bowl the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the butter and 1 cup sugar and mix with beaters until well blended, a few minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla and mix until incorporated into the butter mixture.
- Add the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture alternately until a thick batter is formed.
- Spread into a prepared 9 inch (23 cm) springform pan. Arrange the plums on top and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons sugar and bake for 60 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool. Top with the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar and release the springform wall from the cake. Serve and enjoy!
