Video Classic New York Times Plum Cake Recipe

Explore this delectable recipe featuring a classic New York Times Plum Cake. Start by prepping your plums; halve them and pit them, then sprinkle with a touch of cinnamon and a dash of sugar. Set them aside to soak up those wonderful flavors. Next, whip up your batter. Cream together some unsalted butter and sugar until you achieve that perfect fluffiness, then add in eggs one by one, making sure each is well incorporated. Gently fold in your dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt, until you have a smooth, cohesive mixture. With your oven preheated, spread the batter evenly into a greased pan. Nestle in the spiced plum halves, cut side down, and give them a lovely drizzle of lemon juice for a zesty kick. Bake to golden perfection, and let your cake rest to heighten the flavors.
