Plum Cake

Make this easy and delicious Plum Cake recipe with simple pantry ingredients! You can also use peaches, apricots, figs, and berries to enjoy this cake all-year round.

For the Wet Ingredients

• 150 g (11 Tbsp) unsalted butter (make sure it's room temperature; to quickly soften cold butter, warm it on a plate in the microwave in 10-second increments, rotating the stick of butter a quarter turn each time)
• 150 g (¾ cup) sugar
• 150 g (3 large) eggs (50 g each w/o shell)
• 1½ tsp almond extract (or vanilla extract)

For the Dry Ingredients

• 150 g (1¼ cups) all-purpose flour (plain flour) (or cake flour)
• 1½ tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp kosher salt (Diamond Crystal; use half for table salt)

For the Toppings

• 6 plums (more or less, depending on the size; you'll need enough plum halves to mostly cover the top of the cake; read the blog post for other fruit varieties)
• ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
• 1½ tsp white sparkling sugar (or turbinado sugar)
