Eggs – It’s always a good idea to make sure your eggs are at room temperature before baking.Sugar – There’s a whole cup of sugar in this cake, but you need the sweetness to offset the tartness of the plums.I have not tested this recipe with any other types of flour. Flour – Regular all-purpose flour was used.Dice both sections into roughly one-centimetre pieces. Slice the flesh of the plum away on either side to get rid of the pit. The top of the plums has a dimple where the stem held the fruit to the tree. HERE IS WHAT YOU WILL NEED FOR THIS RECIPE: Line it first with parchment paper to make the cake easier to lift out. Doing so might put that non-stick coating at risk.

Please keep in mind that most cake pans are not built to withstand a sharp knife being dragged across them. If you are willing to slice the cake right into your cake pan, then you can bake it in the previously mentioned 9 x 13″ pan. If the cake batter is piled into a bundt pan, or a smaller cake pan with higher walls, the moisture in the plums will cause the batter to steam. The plums have a lot of moisture and that will affect the cake and how it bakes. You cannot bake this cake in a Bundt pan, because by the time the cake batter cooks all the way through in the middle, the outer edges of the cake will be browned too much, or worse yet, burnt. I used the spring form pan so that I could place the humble cake on a pretty cake stand not that the cake needed anything to help it be pretty, but because I love cake stands! In terms of baking, you can bake this cake in a 10″ spring form pan as I did, or you can use a 9 x 13″ baking dish. I watch them religiously with the hope that I can up my game!

He has a YouTube channel called Epic Confections where he showcases some of his decorating techniques. We all know a baker who can not only bake great desserts but can also decorate them beautifully. I think it makes for such a beautiful cake without any fuss at all. I would consider dusting this cake with some confectioner’s sugar, but I didn’t even do that much to it! Instead, I placed it onto a cake stand and piled a bunch of whole yellow plums right into the center. That basically means that not only is the cake itself easy to make, but it doesn’t need any fancy decorating. This is one of those no-fuss cake recipes. Oh, and this cake has a bit of sour cream in it too, so you know this one is going to be soft and moist!

If you love the tartness, and bitterness of fresh summer plums, you’re going to simply adore this Tart Plum Cake! The sweet cake batter is the perfect vessel for those diced tart plums.
