Certainly! Here's a special plum cake recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups fresh plums, pitted and chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or almonds (optional)
For the topping:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer for this step.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next one. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
6. Gently fold in the chopped plums and walnuts or almonds (if using) into the batter.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon for the topping. Drizzle the mixture evenly over the batter.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Once cooled, you can dust the cake with powdered sugar or serve it as is. It's delicious on its own, or you can accompany it with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.
Enjoy your special plum cake!
