Pin Recipe Share on Facebook Ingredients US CustomaryMetric1x2x3x▢ ½ cup unsalted butter (softened, plus more to grease the pan)▢ 1 cup sugar▢ 1 large egg (at room temperature)▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract▢ 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (spooned into a measuring cup and leveled off)▢ ⅔ cup milk (any fat % is fine)▢ 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder▢ 1 ½ teaspoon mixed spice (or apple pie spice, or pumpkin pie spice)▢ ½ teaspoon salt▢ 1 lb plums (pitted and quartered, *see note)▢ 1-2 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional- turbinado, demerara, or organic sugar will work as well)
InstructionsPreheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan (*see note).In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy and light, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and continue to mix on low.½ cup unsalted butter, 1 cup sugar, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extractAdd the baking powder, mixed spice, and salt, and continue to mix until thoroughly combined. Alternate between adding the flour and milk, just gradually pouring in small portions at a time as you mix. Continue until smooth. (The batter should be thick.)1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ⅔ cup milk, 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder, 1 ½ teaspoon mixed spice, ½ teaspoon saltTransfer the batter to your greased springform pan and smooth the top with a silicone spatula. Arrange the plums on top of the batter skin-side-up in a circular pattern so they cover a majority of the surface. Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of coarse sugar over the plums if desired.1 lb plums, 1-2 tablespoon coarse sugarBake your plum cake for 55-65 minutes or until the top is golden and the center of the cake is set. When ready, remove the cake from the oven. While it is still hot, run a knife around the outside edge of the cake and remove the springform. Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled you may slice and serve your plum cake. Equipment You May Need9-inch Springform PanMixing BowlSilicone Whisk Notes If you don’t have a springform pan, a 9-inch cake or pie pan can be used instead but you will need to serve your plum cake directly from the pan. I used 3 large plums for this recipe. If using smaller plums, you may need to use more. Shoot for about a pound of plums regardless of size. Storing: Your plum cake will keep just fine at room temperature for up to 3 days when placed in an airtight container. Freezing: To freeze your plum cake, wrap it twice with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and place it in a freezer bag. It should be enjoyed within 3 months. Transfer to the fridge to thaw overnight.
