Yield Makes 2 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
9 or 10 large black plums, halved and pitted
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus more for pans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter two 9-inch round cake pans. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine 3/4 cup sugar, the milk, oil, and egg. Fold into flour mixture.
  • Divide batter evenly between prepared pans, and smooth tops. Arrange plums, cut sides up, over batter.
  • Combine cinnamon and remaining sugar, and sprinkle over plums. Dot with butter. Bake until tops are dark golden, plums are soft, and a toothpick inserted into center of cakes comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool. (Cakes are best the day you make them; leftover cake is great for breakfast the next day.)

This cake was just okay. The plums were a bit tart and the cake was a bit dry.

I thought this cake was just okay. The plums were a bit tart, and the cake itself was a bit dry. The streusel topping was good, but it didn't save the cake.
