Plum Cake
- 1-1/2 cup Plus 2 Tablespoons Of All-purpose Flour, Divided Use
- 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- 1-1/2 stick Butter, Softened
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 3 whole Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 2 whole Lemons, Zested
- 1/4 cups Plain Yogurt
- 8 whole Small Plums, Halved And Pitted
- Powdered Sugar, For Dusting
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- Butter a 9-inch round springform pan and set aside. If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular round cake pan, but be sure to butter it and line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized bowl combine 1 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one by one, and continue to mix.
- Beat in the vanilla and lemon zest, followed by half of the flour mixture. Mix until blended.
- Pour in the yogurt and the rest of the flour mixture. Beat until combined.
- Pour the batter into the cake pan and smooth the top with either a cake spatula or a knife.
- Toss the halved plums in 2 tablespoons of flour until well coated, then place them on top of the cake batter.
- Bake the cake for 30 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven, tent a piece of foil and loosely place it on top of the cake. Return it to the oven for another 20 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow it to cool completely before removing it from the pan.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
