Servings: 8
Equipment
- 9-inch non-stick baking dish
- Large mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 8 fresh plums
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 tbsp ½ stick butter melted
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Slice the plums and remove the pits. Arrange the sliced plums in a single layer on the bottom of a 9-inch non-stick baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Add sugar and mix well.
- Stir in the melted butter until combined, then add the flour and baking powder, mixing until the batter is smooth.
- Pour the batter evenly over the plums in the baking dish.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, slice and invert each piece to place the plum side up, or invert the entire cake onto a serving plate before slicing.
Optional
- For added sweetness, sprinkle ¼ cup of sugar over the plums before pouring the batter.
Notes
- For a sweeter result, add a bit of extra sugar on the plums before baking if desired.
