Description
A moist and tender Italian-style plum cake made with creamy yogurt, fresh plums, and a hint of vanilla. Perfect for breakfast or a light dessert.
Ingredients
250 grams all-purpose flour
150 grams granulated sugar
125 grams plain yogurt
100 milliliters vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 medium fresh plums, pitted and sliced
2 tablespoons granulated sugar for topping
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and slightly frothy.
Add the yogurt, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and whisk until combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
Arrange half of the sliced plums over the batter.
Pour the remaining batter over the plums and spread evenly with a spatula.
Top the cake with the remaining plum slices, pressing them lightly into the batter.
Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar evenly over the top of the cake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
