Ingredients

Ingredients scaled to 8 servings
  • 150 g sugar
  • 125 g butter
  • 160 g flour
  • 6 g baking powder
  • salt, pinch
  • 2 egg
  • 6–8 plum, halved and pitted
  • sugar, to taste
  • cinnamon, to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1
    In a bowl add room-temperature butter, a pinch of salt, and sugar. Beat with a whisk or mixer until light and fluffy. Optionally add a little vanilla sugar.
  2. Step 2
    Add room-temperature eggs and beat until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Step 3
    Sift the flour and baking powder, then gently fold the dry ingredients into the butter-egg mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Step 4
    Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Grease a 20–22 cm baking pan with a little butter and spread the batter evenly in the pan.
  5. Step 5
    Halve and pit 6–8 plums. Arrange the halves on top of the batter cut-side down for a juicier cake or cut-side up for a drier, fluffier cake.
  6. Step 6
    Sprinkle the top with sugar and cinnamon (brown sugar adds a slight caramel aroma).
  7. Step 7 · 180°C / 356°F · 35-45 min
    Bake at 180 °C for 35–45 minutes until the crust is golden and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool before serving.
