Preparation Time
25 minutes
Baking Time

Steps
1. Prepare the Batter:
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, salt, sugar, and vanilla sugar for about 3 minutes until the mixture is fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing slightly after each addition. Then, gradually mix in the flour and baking powder that have been sifted together until you achieve a smooth and uniform batter.
2. Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to preheat at 180°C (356°F) using conventional settings.
3. Prepare the Cake Tin:
Line the base of a 20 cm (or 18 cm) round cake tin with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the tin, spreading it out evenly.
4. Prepare the Fruit:
After washing and drying the plums, cut them into quarters if they’re large or halves if smaller, removing the pits.
5. Assemble the Cake:
Arrange the plum pieces evenly over the surface of the batter, with the cut side facing down, pressing them down lightly into the batter. Mix the cinnamon with the sugar and sprinkle this mixture over the cake.
6. Baking:
Place the cake in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Serving
Allow the cake to cool, then unmold and serve. Enjoy this delightful plum and cinnamon cake as a splendid treat any time of the day!
