Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup plum butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.5 cup fresh plums, diced (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the plum butter and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
If using, gently fold in the diced fresh plums with a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve plain, or spread additional plum butter on slices for extra flavor. Enjoy!
