POLISH FRESH PLUM CAKE--PLACEK Z SLIWKAMI



Polish Fresh Plum Cake--Placek Z Sliwkami image

There's a thimble-sized Farmer's Market in our neighborhood and one August visit, I bought a fresh plum cake. I thought nothing of it except "Well, now I have dessert for tonight." Little did I know what an adventure it would turn into! The wrapping from the bakery was tossed and unobtainable after my family went insane for this cake! Beyond moist, a perfect blend of tart and sweet, I spent days trying to locate a similar recipe with no luck; every "plum cake" that I found had either plum baby food or some crumb or streusal topping. I finally located the bakery through the Farmer's Market and found out the name of the cake. It's a Polish delicacy and MUST be made with fresh plums, in season fruit.

Time 1h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar (plus)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, very soft (plus)
3 tablespoons butter (COLD, cut into pieces)
3/4 cup milk, room temperature
2 large eggs
40 fresh plums (any variety, pitted and halved)
1/4 teaspoon clove

Steps:

  • Lightly coat a 13"x9" pan with cooking spray. Heat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and 3/4 cup sugar. Add 1/2 cup softened butter, milk and eggs. Beat at medium speed 4 minutes.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan. Place plums on top, cut side up, pushing down slightly into batter.
  • Cut remaining 1/4 cup sugar and cloves into 3 tablespoons cold butter and sprinkle over plums. Bake about 40 minutes or until a toothpick tests clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan so the plum juices will be reabsorbed to create a moist cake. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if desired, and cut into 12 squares.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, juicy plums for the best flavor.
  • To easily remove the plum skins, score an X on the bottom of each plum and blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds. Then, transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the plums by hand using a fork or potato masher.
  • For a denser cake, use more flour. For a lighter cake, use less flour.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving.

Conclusion:

This fresh plum cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a sweet and tart filling. It is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
