Instructions
- preheat oven to 350F. Lightly spray a 9 inch springform pan and line the bottom with a circle of parchment paper.
- Slice your plums into thin slices. You'll need enough to cover the top of your cake.
- Beat together the sugar, eggs, and extracts until light and smooth. Beat in the ricotta.
- Blend in the baking powder, salt, and flour, mixing just until well combined.
- Turn the batter into your prepared pan and top with the sliced plums.
- Sprinkle the almonds over the top of the plums. I like to sprinkle a little more granulated sugar over the almonds, which gives the top an extra crunch.
- Bake for 70-80 minutes, or until just cooked through in the center. Use a toothpick to check for wet batter. As ovens and pans vary, your baking time may differ from mine. Check your cake on the early side.
- Let the cake cool for 10 minutes, then run a thin spreading knife around the edges to loosen them. Remove the outer ring.
- If you want to dust the cake with powdered sugar, wait until it has cooled.
