Ingredients

  • 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.
