Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 cup butter, softened
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 1.25 cups plums, pitted and quartered

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in preheated oven until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool before serving.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch tube pan.

Step 3

Separate eggs into whites and yolks. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; set aside.

Step 4

Beat butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks and lemon zest.

Step 5

Stir flour and baking powder together, then blend into butter mixture. Gently fold in egg whites. Spread cake batter evenly into the prepared pan. There will only be a little over an inch of batter. Arrange plums, skin-side down, in a nice pattern over the batter.
