¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
A pinch of salt
12 ripe plums, halved and pitted
1 ½ tablespoons cinnamon sugar, or to taste
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 10-inch springform pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until the mixture is light and airy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and spread it evenly.
- Gently press the plum halves into the batter, cut-side up. Sprinkle the top with cinnamon sugar.
- Bake on the lowest rack of the oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature.
