Easy Fresh Plum Cake

Fresh Plum Cake – A rustic yet elegant cake that is simple to make and delicious to eat! Serve it with seasonal plums in the summer and around the holidays.

My children enjoy spending time in the kitchen. I can’t say I blame them! The aromas wafting from the oven are difficult to match. There is no other room I would rather be in…

We awoke the other morning and shuffled downstairs to our usual weekend morning routine. Breakfast, lounging around in our PJs, discussing our plans for the rest of the day…

The kids wanted to bake on this particular day!

We didn’t even bother getting out of our PJs. We went straight to the pantry to weigh our options. What about chocolate chips? No. Coconut shreds? No. What about peanut butter? No.

What was this kitchen up to?

All of the necessary ingredients for our favorite go-to treats were missing. We took a deep breath and gathered our thoughts.

Fresh summer plums, butter, sugar, and flour were on hand. A Fresh Plum Cake is in the works. I could tell we were headed for greatness.

At our house, many “kiddy treats” make their debut. You know the type… Rice crispy treat variations, zoo animal-themed cookies, and candy suspended in jello (You should see some of the stuff we produce around Halloween.)

However, it is beneficial to teach children some traditional and slightly more sophisticated recipes. They appear to enjoy the mature desserts just as much as they enjoy the baking techniques.

Furthermore, these are recipes they can take with them throughout their lives, serving as a springboard to more elaborate meals and ideas. Mommy’s little token.

How To Make This Plum Cake Recipe

Instructions…

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Cover the bottom disc of an 8-9 inch springform pan with parchment paper. Wrap the ring around the disc, leaving the parchment paper in between. Remove any excess paper. Grease the pan’s sides.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice.

1 cup sugar and 1 cup butter, creamed in an electric mixer One at a time, add the eggs. Slowly pour in the flour mixture. Scrape the bowl and start over.

In the prepared pan, evenly distribute the cake batter. Cut the plums in eighths. The simplest way I’ve found is to run a knife around the plum.

Arrange the plum slices in a pretty pattern around the top of the cake. Make sure they’re close to each other. 1 tablespoon sugar and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice should be sprinkled over the plums. 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean Make certain not to overbake! Cool for 15 minutes in the pan, then another 10 minutes before serving!
