Author: StreamingGourmet/Amy
Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8-10
- 7 Tablespoons butter, divided
- ⅔ cup sugar, divided
- 4 plums, thinly sliced - choose plums that are not overly ripe
- 1 egg
- 1 cup flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
- Place one tablespoon of butter in a circular pie pan and melt in the oven for a couple of minutes.
- Meanwhile, cream the butter with the remaining sugar. Add the egg and beat until smooth.
- Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle ⅓ cup of sugar evenly around the bottom.
- Arrange the plum slices in neat, concentric circles on top of the butter/sugar.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Add the dry ingredients to the cream mixture in batches, alternating with the milk until mixed thoroughly.
- Add in the vanilla and mix until batter is smooth. If the batter is too thick, mix in another tablespoon of milk.
- Spread the batter evenly on top of the plums, working it all the way out to the edge of the pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. A knife inserted in the cake should come out clean.
- Remove from the oven and invert onto a plate immediately.
- Serve warm.
