Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 extra-large eggs (or 2 large+ 1 egg white)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (7 oz.)
  • 5 1/2 pounds Plums (after skinning and pitting)
  • 3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sugar+ 1 Tb
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (could use shortening)
Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350* F.

Place a sheet of parchment paper over the bottom disk of an 8-9 inch spring-form pan. Fasten the ring around the disk with the parchment paper secured in between.

Cut off the excess paper. Grease the sides of the pan.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and tsp. of pumpkin pie spice.In the electric mixer, cream 1 cup of sugar with the butter.

Add the eggs one at a time. Slowly add the flour mixture. Scrape the bowl and mix again.Can you tell which one is my methodical recipe-follower, and which is my spatula-licking prankster??? Excuse our mess in the background...how embarrassing!

Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.Slice the plums into eighths. The easiest way Ive found to do this, is to run a knife around the plum to half it, then do the same to quarter it. Split each quarter in half. Then the little sections should pop off the pit with your knife.

Place the plum slices around the top of the cake in a pretty patternmake sure they are close together.

Sprinkle 1 Tb. of sugar and the remaining tsp of pumpkin pie spice over the plums.

Bake for 50-55 minutesuntil a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Make SURE not to over bake! Cool for 15 minutes in the pan, and another 10 minutes out of the pan before serving!

Serves 8-1

* Try with fresh summer peaches, nectarines or apricots!
