Ingredients

• 200 g all-purpose flour
• 150 g granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 0.5 tsp baking soda
• 0.5 tsp cinnamon
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 240 ml unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 60 ml vegetable oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 medium fresh plums, sliced
• 2 tbsp brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with a little vegetable oil or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to curdle slightly, making vegan buttermilk.

Step 4

Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract to the milk mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Arrange the sliced plums over the top of the batter, pressing them down slightly. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the plums.

Step 8

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve the cake warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
