Crispy Crunchy Summer Plum Torte
- 4-6 Plums (or other fruit)
- 3/4 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- Pinch of Salt
- 1/4 cup Cornmeal
- 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2/3 cup Turbinado sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter at room temp
- 2 Large eggs
- Zest from one lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease an 8 or 9 inch cake pan (I prefer to use springform pans for ease of removal so you don't have to turn the cake upside down). Cut plums into 1/4 inch thick slices with the peel on. For apricots or peaches you may want to remove the peel.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cornmeal and cinnamon until all incorporated.
- Cream butter and sugar. Add in eggs, lemon zest and vanilla.
- Mix in the dry ingredients until all of the dry ingredients are mixed in. The batter will be thick.
- Add the batter to the pan and cover the top with plums in any design you like. I like to create a pinwheel around the outside.
- Bake for approximately 30-40 minutes. It will be on the longer side if you used an 8-inch pan.
