Apricot and Plum Cake

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon cardamom

  or pinch of cloves
• 1/2 cup butter

  (8 tablespoons) softened to room temperature
• 1 cup sugar

  + 2 tablespoons, divided
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1-2 apricots

  or any stone fruit like nectarines or peaches
• 2 plums

  sliced into 1/2-inch wedges
• 1/4 cup sour cream

  or Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch cake pan or 10-inch deep dish pie
  plate.
• 2 In a large bowl, whisk (or sift) the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and
  cardamom together and set aside.
• 3 With an electric or stand mixer, cream the butter and 1 cup sugar, beating until
  it is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, vanilla, sour cream, and
  milk to the bowl. Mix on low speed until just combined.
• 4 Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until smooth.
• 5 Transfer the cake batter to the prepared pan. Top with sliced plums and
  apricots, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar.
• 6 Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the middle comes out
  clean. Remove the cake from the oven, run a sharp knife around the edges of the
  cake while it's still hot to loosen it from the pan. Let the cake slightly. Dust
  with confectioners' sugar, slice and serve with ice cream or whipped cream if
  desired.
