Ingredients

• 500 grams Fresh plums
• 200 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 115 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 large Eggs
• 100 milliliters Milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash the plums, slice them in half, and remove the pits. Set the plum halves aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 5

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Arrange the plum halves, cut side up, on top of the batter, pressing them down slightly into the batter.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then remove it from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Just before serving, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar.
