Ingredients
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar plus 1 tablespoon divided*
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 6-12 plums depending size, pitted and halved**
- Juice from ½ lemon
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Notes
- *Depending on how sweet your plums are and how sweet you like your cake, the sugar can be cut down to ¾ cup.
- **You will use more or less plums depending on the variety and size, but also depending on your preference. I tend to use more plums for a fruitier cake, but you can always opt to use less for a cakier-cake. You can't go wrong either way, trust me.
