- 1 cup
- Unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup, softened
- Eggs
- 3 large
- Milk
- 1/2 cup
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons
- Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Fresh plums

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the sliced fresh plums, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider sprinkling some chopped nuts on top of the cake before baking.
- You can substitute the plums with other fruits like peaches or cherries for a different flavor profile.
- Serve the cake warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
