Olive oil plum cake Recipe
Ripe plums add bursts of sweet flavor and make juicy topping to this moist olive oil cake.
Ingredients
- 450 - 500 g firm plums
- 60 g butter, softened
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 80 g demerara sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp almond extract
- 125 g whole wheat flour
- 90 g all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 2 tbs Muscovado sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Directions
1.
Pit and thinly slice the plums. Set aside.
2.
Beat the butter with hand-held mixer until fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the olive oil and beat at medium speed for 1 minute, until the mixture is smooth. Scrape down the bowl and beater.
3.
Add the sugar and beat at medium speed for 1 minute.
4.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, scraping the bowl and beaters between each addition.
5.
Add the vanilla and almond extract and beat for 2 minutes at medium speed, until the mixture is very light.
6.
Sift the flour, baking powder, and sea salt into a bowl; slowly add to the batter and beat just until incorporated.
7.
Scrape the batter into the 23 cm springform pan with a removable bottom lined with lightly buttered parchment paper and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
8.
Arrange the plums on top in concentric circles, pressing them down into the batter. Sprinkle with Muscovado sugar and ground cinnamon.
9.
Bake the cake in the oven at 180°C for about 40 - 45 minutes, until the edges of the plums are beginning to color and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cake. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool for 10 minutes on a rack before releasing the sides of the springform. Then let it cool completely before slicing.
