This Polish Plum cake is really moist and the butter topping melts onto the plums during baking, once it's out of the oven it soaks into the cake as well. One bite of this cake and you'll want to eat it all.

POLISH FRESH PLUM CAKE--PLACEK Z SLIWKAMI

Polish Fresh Plum Cake--Placek Z Sliwkami image

There's a thimble-sized Farmer's Market in our neighborhood and one August visit, I bought a fresh plum cake. I thought nothing of it except "Well, now I have dessert for tonight." Little did I know what an adventure it would turn into! The wrapping from the bakery was tossed and unobtainable after my family went insane for this cake! Beyond moist, a perfect blend of tart and sweet, I spent days trying to locate a similar recipe with no luck; every "plum cake" that I found had either plum baby food or some crumb or streusal topping. I finally located the bakery through the Farmer's Market and found out the name of the cake. It's a Polish delicacy and MUST be made with fresh plums, in season fruit.

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar (plus)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, very soft (plus)
3 tablespoons butter (COLD, cut into pieces)
3/4 cup milk, room temperature
2 large eggs
40 fresh plums (any variety, pitted and halved)
1/4 teaspoon clove

Steps:

Lightly coat a 13"x9" pan with cooking spray. Heat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and 3/4 cup sugar. Add 1/2 cup softened butter, milk and eggs. Beat at medium speed 4 minutes.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Place plums on top, cut side up, pushing down slightly into batter.
Cut remaining 1/4 cup sugar and cloves into 3 tablespoons cold butter and sprinkle over plums. Bake about 40 minutes or until a toothpick tests clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan so the plum juices will be reabsorbed to create a moist cake. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if desired, and cut into 12 squares.

Tips:

To make sure your dough is the right consistency, it should be smooth and elastic, but not too sticky. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more milk.
When rolling out the dough, use a floured surface to prevent it from sticking.
Don't overfill the cake with plums, or it will be difficult to close the dough.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven to ensure that it cooks evenly.
If you don't have a baking dish, you can bake the cake in a greased and floured 9x13 inch pan.
Serve the cake warm or at room temperature, topped with whipped cream, ice cream, or your favorite fruit.
