• Yield: 1 (10-inch) cake

Ingredients

• ¾ cup white sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 12 medium ripe plums, halved and pitted
• 1 ½ tablespoons cinnamon sugar, or to taste

Directions

• Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch springform pan.
• Step 2: Combine sugar and butter in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, and beat well after each addition. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl and sift on top of the butter mixture; mix to combine. Transfer batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth out.
• Step 3: Set plums inside batter, cut-side up, and sprinkle evenly with cinnamon-sugar.
• Step 4: Bake in the preheated oven on the lowest rack until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Serve warm or cool to room temperature.
