Very fluffy and delicate plum cake. It is a super delicious cake, a great way of using plums when in season. This recipe uses whipped egg whites, which creates a light and fluffy cake texture. This plum cake is something that you must bake this season!
Ingredients for the fluffy plum cake:
- 140 g butter
- 150 g caster sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs, the egg whites and yolks separated
- 200 g plain flour
- 90 g soured cream
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 600 – 700 g plums
All ingredients should be at room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until very light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla extract and egg yolks, one by one, beating the ingredients to combine completely after each addition. Add soured cream, sifted plain flour and baking powder. Mix with a spatula only to combine the ingredients, no longer. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and gently mix into the batter.
Line a 22 x 33 cm baking tin with baking paper. Place the cake batter into the tin and smooth out. Set plums inside the batter, cut side up and side to side.
Bake at 160 – 170ºC for 40 minutes or longer, until a stick inserted into the cake comes out dry. Take it from the oven, let it cool, and then put it on a cake stand.
Before serving, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Enjoy!
