Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2/3 cup whole milk, room temperature
1 1/2 cups Plum Jam, skins removed (1 1/4 cups)

Steps:

  • Topping: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, brown sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Stir in butter until combined.
  • Cake: Brush a 9-by-9-by-2-inch square cake pan (not nonstick) with butter. Line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides; butter parchment.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. In another bowl, beat butter with granulated sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating to combine after each. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with 2 additions of milk, beating until combined and scraping down bowl as necessary.
  • Transfer batter to prepared pan. Spread jam evenly over top. Sprinkle evenly with topping, squeezing to create large clumps. Bake until a tester inserted in center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 20 minutes. Use parchment to lift cake out of pan, then let cool completely on rack before serving.

Time 1h10m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3 large eggs
2 lbs ripe red plums (about 4 cups) or 2 lbs ripe purple plums, pitted, quartered (about 4 cups)
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold, cut into bits

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter 9" round cake pan.
  • Place 1-2/3 cups flour, the granulated sugar, baking powder, 1/3 cup butter, and the eggs in mixing bowl. Stir with wooden spoon until blended. Transfer to prepared cake pan. Flour fingers and pat dough over bottom and up sides of pan. Fill dough-lined pan with plums.
  • Stir remaining 1 cup flour, the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup cold butter and rub mixture between fingers until thoroughly blended. Sprinkle crumb topping evenly over plums.
  • Bake cake until golden brown, about 40 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on wire rack.
  • To serve, run knife around edge of pan. Invert cake onto plate, then quickly invert again onto serving plate. Cut into wedges and serve (with vanilla ice cream, if desired).

Tips:

  • Use ripe plums for the best flavor. If your plums are not ripe, you can place them in a paper bag with a banana for a few days to speed up the ripening process.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands and make it easier to work with.
  • If you don't have a 9-inch springform pan, you can use a 9-inch round baking pan. Just be sure to grease and flour the pan before adding the batter.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will take about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent the cake from falling apart.

Conclusion:

This plum crumb cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tart plums are complemented perfectly by the buttery crumb topping. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
