Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch cake tin (or 8-inch for a thicker cake - read notes).
  • Slice plums in half, remove the pit then slice each half into quarters and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk yogurt, coconut sugar, olive oil, vanilla, and eggs until combined.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, and baking soda into the bowl. Gently fold until just combined.
  • Pour batter into the cake tin and arrange plum slices on top.
  • Bake for 45 minutes until a skewer comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool in the tin for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving with yogurt, cream or ice cream.

Notes

To bake the Yogurt Plum Cake in an 8-inch cake tin, start checking for doneness 5-10 minutes earlier than the original baking time, as the cake will be slightly thicker. Keep the same oven temperature and use the same amount of batter.
  • Ripe Plums: Use ripe but firm plums to avoid excess moisture in the cake.
  • Mix Gently: Avoid overmixing the batter to ensure a light, fluffy cake.
  • Check Doneness: Start checking for doneness a few minutes before the end of the baking time.
  • Cool Properly: Let the cake cool in the tin for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to prevent it from breaking.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
 
 
MEASUREMENTS:
I always recommend using a kitchen weighing scale and using weighted measurements. This will result in a more accurate process and your cake will come out perfectly.
