Time 1h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

18 plums, pitted and halved, or as needed
½ lemon, juiced and zested
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
7 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
½ cup white sugar
2 eggs
⅓ cup sour cream
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 10-inch springform pan.
  • Sprinkle prepared plums with lemon juice in a bowl.
  • Combine flour, butter, sugar, eggs, sour cream, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until blended. Process on low speed until smooth. Pour batter into the prepared springform pan.
  • Arrange plums, cut-side down, on the batter. They can touch or even overlap; the more plums you can fit, the better the cake. Dust with cinnamon.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, juicy plums: The sweetness and flavor of the plums will directly impact the taste of the cake. Look for plums that are deep in color and have a slight give when gently pressed.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a bundt pan for a classic presentation: A bundt pan will give your cake a beautiful, fluted shape. If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a loaf pan or a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Dust the cake with powdered sugar before serving: This adds a touch of sweetness and elegance to the cake.

This quick and simple plum cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion.
