Ingredients
-
18 plums, pitted and halved, or as needed
-
½ lemon, juiced and zested
-
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
-
7 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
-
1 cup white sugar
-
2 eggs
-
⅓ cup buttermilk
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, or as needed
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 10-inch springform pan.
-
Sprinkle prepared plums with lemon juice in a bowl.
-
Combine flour, butter, sugar, eggs, buttermilk, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until blended. Process on low speed until smooth. Pour batter into the prepared springform pan.
-
Arrange plums, cut-side down, on the batter. They can touch or even overlap; the more plums you can fit, the better the cake. Dust with cinnamon.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 15 to 20 minutes before serving. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
Cook's Notes:
I usually soften butter in the microwave for 12 to 15 seconds (exact time will depend on your microwave), if I forget to take the butter out of the refrigerator in advance.
If you are making the cake by hand, cream softened butter and sugar together, add eggs one at a time, and then the lemon zest. Add the flour (sifted together with baking powder and salt) alternately with the buttermilk, adding a little at a time. Mix until light and smooth.
