Description

As beautiful as it is easy, this one bowl plum cake + video is what you need for the best of in season summer stone fruit!

Ingredients

    • 1 1/4 cup All Purpose Flour
    • 1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour
    • 1 tsp Baking Powder
    • 1/4 tsp Salt
    • 1 cup Sugar + 2 Tbsp, divided
    • 10 Tbsp Unsalted Butter, softened
    • 2 Large Eggs
    • 1/2 tsp Almond Extract, optional
    • 6-8 Plums - Black, Red, or Italian
    • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon

Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Set aside. Note, you can also use a 9-inch cake pan as well.

    1. In your 9 or 13 cup food processor, (don’t use a small mini food processor here), blend together the butter and sugar until creamed together and turning a light yellow. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.

    1. Next blend, with the food processor on, blend in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the milk, and vanilla extract.

    1. Lastly, blend in the dry ingredients, flour, whole wheat flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Pulse the food processor until all the ingredients are combined and a dough has formed. You can alternatively use a large bowl and whisk together the dry ingredients, then add them into the food processor and blend in.

    1. The tea cake batter is thick, so scoop it into the pan and smooth out the top. It does not have to be perfectly smooth.

    1. Cut plums into quarters, and decorate the top of the cake batter with the sections of plum.

    1. Bake for 45 minutes on the middle rack of the oven.

    1. While the cake bakes, stir together a sugar and cinnamon mixture.

    1. After 45 minutes, sprinkle the top of the cake with the cinnamon and sugar mixture, and return to the oven to bake another 15-20 minutes, or until the cake is done testing it with a toothpick that comes out nearly clean.

    1. Remove from the oven, and allow to cool in the springform pan, or cake pan, for 20 minutes. Remove the cake and allow it to complete cooling on a wire rack.

    1. Slice and serve.

Notes

The original recipe is from Zoe Bakes Cakes cookbook, by Zoe Francois. Minor changes were made based on ingredients I had available or to my taste.
