Categories     Dessert     Plum

Number Of Ingredients 8

¾ cup sugar
½ cup unsalted butter
1 cup unbleached flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt (optional)
2 eggs
24 halves pitted purple plums
Sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream the sugar and butter in a bowl. Add the flour, baking powder, salt and eggs and beat well. Spoon the batter into a spring form of 8, 9 or 10 inches. Place the plum halves skin side up on top of the batter. Sprinkle lightly with sugar and lemon juice, depending on the sweetness of the fruit. Sprinkle with (about) 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, depending on how much you like cinnamon. Bake one hour, approximately. Remove and cool; refrigerate or freeze if desired. Or cool to lukewarm and serve plain or with whipped cream. To serve a torte that was frozen, defrost and reheat it briefly at 300 degrees. To freeze, double-wrap the tortes in foil, place in a plastic bag and seal.

The cake was a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would use less plums next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

The cake was a bit dry. I think I would add more butter or oil next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.
