Ingredients

• 5 medium-sized Fresh plums
• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 125 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 100 milliliters Milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan, or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and slice the plums into quarters, removing the pits. Set them aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Add the ground cinnamon and lemon zest, and then mix well to combine.

Step 4

In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Arrange the plum slices on top of the batter, pressing them down slightly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

For the glaze, mix together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.

Step 12

Slice and serve the plum cake, enjoying each flavorful bite!
