Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 5 grams baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 6 fresh plums
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 15 grams sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared springform pan.
Wash, halve, and pit the plums. Arrange the plum halves, skin side up, on top of the batter. Place them close together but avoid overlapping.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the plums, and then sprinkle the ground cinnamon and sugar evenly on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the torte is golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the torte to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before removing the sides of the springform pan.
Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
