Plum Cakey Tart

I had some fresh plums that my husband hadn't eaten, and came up with this delicious dessert. EASY and delicious! This can be used with other stone fruit like peaches or nectarines, and I bet it would be good with apples or pears in the fall! Delicious served warm with vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• ½ cup butter, softened
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¾ cup white sugar
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon white sugar, or as needed
• 3 plums, pitted and sliced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 7x11-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

Whisk together the whole wheat flour, white flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cream together the butter and 3/4 cup of sugar in a large bowl; mix in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients in two additions, mixing gently between each addition until the batter is just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, and arrange the sliced plums over the batter. Sprinkle the fruit with 1 tablespoon sugar, and dust with cinnamon.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes.
