Description

Moist, fluffy, lemony plum cake.

Ingredients

  • 1-½ cup Plus 2 Tablespoons Of All-purpose Flour, Divided Use
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 1-½ stick Butter, Softened
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 3 whole Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 2 whole Lemons, Zested
  • ¼ cups Plain Yogurt
  • 8 whole Small Plums, Halved And Pitted
  • Powdered Sugar, For Dusting

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 F.

Butter a 9-inch round springform pan and set aside. If you don’t have a springform pan, you can use a regular round cake pan, but be sure to butter it and line it with parchment paper.

In a medium-sized bowl combine 1 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one by one, and continue to mix.

Beat in the vanilla and lemon zest, followed by half of the flour mixture. Mix until blended.

Pour in the yogurt and the rest of the flour mixture. Beat until combined.

Pour the batter into the cake pan and smooth the top with either a cake spatula or a knife.

Toss the halved plums in 2 tablespoons of flour until well coated, then place them on top of the cake batter.

Bake the cake for 30 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven, tent a piece of foil and loosely place it on top of the cake. Return it to the oven for another 20 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.

Allow it to cool completely before removing it from the pan.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

This was so yummy! I made it on a snowy day with what I had at home, so I substituted canned plums for the fresh ones, some lemon juice for half the zest as I only had one lemon, and sour cream for plain yogurt. Amazingly it still turned out really great, especially with the lemon flavor. A keeper!
