Number Of Ingredients 16

18 whole cardamom pods
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
Vegetable-oil cooking spray
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/4 cups sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups low-fat plain yogurt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Make the streusel: Whisk flour, brown sugar, 3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, and the salt in a medium bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; set aside.

Put butter and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy. Reduce speed to medium. Mix in eggs, 1 at a time. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with the yogurt. Mix in vanilla.
  • Spoon half of the batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle with 2 1/2 cups streusel. Top with remaining batter. Squeeze remaining streusel into large and small clumps; sprinkle on top of batter. Bake until golden brown and a cake tester inserted into center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool 10 to 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use ripe plums for the best flavor. If your plums are not ripe, you can roast them in the oven for a few minutes to bring out their sweetness.
  • Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a tender and moist cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
  • For a streusel topping that is extra crunchy, use cold butter and flour.
  • If you don't have cardamom on hand, you can substitute cinnamon or nutmeg.
  • Serve the cake warm with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

This plum coffee cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. The moist and tender cake is studded with sweet plums and topped with a crunchy streusel topping. It's a great way to use up ripe plums and it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
