Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Position a rack in the lower third of the oven. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and ½ cup sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. (8 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Pour the batter into an ungreased 9-inch springform pan, spreading it evenly. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Arrange the plum halves, skin-side down, on top of the batter in a decorative pattern. (5 minutes)

06

Step

In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the plums. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (45 minutes)

08

Step

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before releasing the sides of the springform pan. Serve warm or at room temperature. (15 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the base.
Try other fruits like apricots, peaches, or berries.
Serve with a dollop of crème fraîche or a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.

    I substituted apricots for the plums, and it was equally delicious. The cinnamon sugar topping is the perfect touch.
