Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 200 grams Sugar
- 150 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 120 ml Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 350 grams Fresh plums, pitted and sliced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt thoroughly, then set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.
Alternate adding the dry ingredient mixture and the milk into the wet mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold the sliced plums into the batter using a spatula. Ensure the plum slices are distributed evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar using a sifter or fine-mesh strainer.
Slice and serve the Nut-Free Classic Plum Cake. Enjoy it on its own or with a dollop of cream or scoop of vanilla ice cream.
