A Plum Cake Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1/2 cup butter

  1 stick, 8 tablespoons
• 1 cup sugar + 2 tablespoons

  divided
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 2-3 plums

  pitted and sliced

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch cake pan. A springform pan works
  great with this cake!
• 2 In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and
  cardamom.
• 3 With an electric or stand mixer, cream together the butter and 1 cup sugar,
  beating until it is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg, vanilla and
  sour cream to the bowl, mix on low speed until just combined. Gradually add the
  flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until smooth.
• 4 Transfer cake batter to prepared pan. Top with sliced plums and sprinkle 2
  tablespoons sugar over the cake top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a tester
  inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• 5 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 cool completely on
  a rack. Dust with confectioners’ sugar, slice and serve with ice cream or
  whipped cream if desired.
