- ~3 cups thinly sliced plums
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 2/3 cup whole milk
Instructions
- Grease a 9″ baking pan with butter and line the bottom with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Starting from the center, layer the plum slices in a spiral on the bottom of the pan. Make sure that the slices are slightly overlapping so there are no gaps.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing until combined after each addition. Scrape the sides as needed and add the vanilla extract and almond extract. Mix until combined.
- Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until combined. With the mixer on low, slowly add the milk until combined. Then add the rest of the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Carefully pour the batter into the pan over the plums. Spread into an even layer. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before flipping over to release, peel off the parchment paper, and serve.
