06 Step

07 Step
Recipe View
In a separate bowl, toss the plum slices with the 2 tablespoons of flour until evenly coated. (3 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View
Arrange the plum slices decoratively on top of the cake batter. (5 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, loosely cover the cake with foil to prevent excessive browning and bake for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake pulls away slightly from the sides of the pan. (60-70 minutes)
10 Step
Recipe View
Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing it. Run a thin knife around the edge of the cake to loosen it. (60 minutes)
11 Step
Recipe View
Invert the cake onto a serving plate and dust generously with confectioners' sugar before slicing and serving. (2 minutes)
For an enhanced flavor, consider macerating the plum slices in a tablespoon of lemon juice and a teaspoon of sugar for about 15 minutes before arranging them on the cake.
Ensure that the butter is properly softened for a smooth and creamy batter. You can soften it quickly by cutting it into small pieces.
If you don't have plain yogurt, sour cream can be used as a substitute with equally delicious results.
Be careful not to over-bake the cake, as this can make it dry. The toothpick test is crucial for determining doneness.
Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
