Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Large pinch salt
1 stick (4 oz) unsalted butter (room temperature, plus more for the pan)
3/4 to 1 cup granulated sugar (plus 1 tablespoon, or more or less, depending on the tartness of the plums)
2 large eggs
12 Italian purple plums (halved and pitted, or 6 red plums, pitted and sliced into thick wedges)
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice (or more or less, depending on the tartness of the plums)
1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Butter a 9-inch springform pan.

  • Spoon the batter into the pan. Cover the top of the batter with the plum halves or wedges, skin side up.

ORIGINAL PLUM TORTE



Original Plum Torte image

The Times published Marian Burros's recipe for Plum Torte every September from 1983 until 1989, when the editors determined that enough was enough. The recipe was to be printed for the last time that year. "To counter anticipated protests," Ms. Burros wrote a few years later, "the recipe was printed in larger type than usual with a broken-line border around it to encourage clipping." It didn't help. The paper was flooded with angry letters. "The appearance of the recipe, like the torte itself, is bittersweet," wrote a reader in Tarrytown, N.Y. "Summer is leaving, fall is coming. That's what your annual recipe is all about. Don't be grumpy about it." We are not! And we pledge that every year, as summer gives way to fall, we will make sure that the recipe is easily available to one and all. The original 1983 recipe called for 1 cup sugar; the 1989 version reduced that to 3/4 cup. We give both options below. Here are five ways to adapt the torte.

CINNAMON TORTE



Cinnamon Torte image

This is one of my favorite recipes. If you like cinnamon you will love this recipe. It's very elegant so it's great for a dinner party. It's a lot of work making the cookie layers, but you can do it days in advance. Assembling the Torte its self does not take long. You will a need to assembly the torte at least 4 hours ahead or overnight and refrigerate it.

PLUM TORTE



Plum Torte image

So easy to make and it's delicious! Take advantage of plum season to make this torte. The torte base will complement many types of fruit. I've used regular plums and quartered them and it was super tasty too. Next time, I'll try it with apricots. I use just a little less than 1/2 cup of sugar because I'm not a fan of sweet desserts. Serve plain or with vanilla ice cream.
