Simple Fresh Plum Cake
An easy fresh plum loaf that delivers subtle flavor and sweetness.
Servings: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1 cup pitted fresh plums chopped
- 1 tablespoon flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 large eggs
- 1½ cups all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅓ cup sour cream or plain yogurt
- ¼ cup raw sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x5 loaf pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
- Sprinkle chopped plums with flour, toss to coat, and set aside.
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat sugar, butter, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
- In a medium bowl, sift the flour, salt, and baking soda.
- Alternate mixing the dry ingredients and sour cream into the wet mixture until it is smooth. Fold in plums and pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. The batter will be thick. Spread evenly with a spatula and sprinkle the raw sugar on top.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out cleanly. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing to cool on a wire rack.
