Quick and Simple Plum Cake

This plum cake is quite easy and quick to make if you use a food processor. It can be mixed by hand as well, it just takes a bit more time.

Ingredients

  • 18 plums, pitted and halved, or as needed
  • ½ lemon, juiced and zested
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 7 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, or as needed

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 10-inch springform pan.

Step 2
Sprinkle prepared plums with lemon juice in a bowl.

Step 3
Combine flour, butter, sugar, eggs, buttermilk, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until blended. Process on low speed until smooth. Pour batter into the prepared springform pan.

Step 4
Arrange plums, cut-side down, on the batter. They can touch or even overlap; the more plums you can fit, the better the cake. Dust with cinnamon.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 15 to 20 minutes before serving. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

Cook’s Notes:

I usually soften butter in the microwave for 12 to 15 seconds (exact time will depend on your microwave), if I forget to take the butter out of the refrigerator in advance.
