Ingredients

  • 450 - 500 g firm plums
  • 60 g butter, softened
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 80 g demerara sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp almond extract
  • 125 g whole wheat flour
  • 90 g all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 2 tbs Muscovado sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Directions

1. Pit and thinly slice the plums. Set aside.
2. Beat the butter with hand-held mixer until fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the olive oil and beat at medium speed for 1 minute, until the mixture is smooth. Scrape down the bowl and beater.
3. Add the sugar and beat at medium speed for 1 minute.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, scraping the bowl and beaters between each addition.
5. Add the vanilla and almond extract and beat for 2 minutes at medium speed, until the mixture is very light.
6. Sift the flour, baking powder, and sea salt into a bowl; slowly add to the batter and beat just until incorporated.
7. Scrape the batter into the 23 cm springform pan with a removable bottom lined with lightly buttered parchment paper and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
8. Arrange the plums on top in concentric circles, pressing them down into the batter. Sprinkle with Muscovado sugar and ground cinnamon.
9. Bake the cake in the oven at 180°C for about 40 - 45 minutes, until the edges of the plums are beginning to color and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cake. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool for 10 minutes on a rack before releasing the sides of the springform. Then let it cool completely before slicing.
