Happy Sunday everyone!
I love baking with Italian plums, we call these Zwetschgen in German or Zwätschge in Swiss German. I was able to find some local plums and just had to grab it!
Zwetschgenkuchen/Plumcake
- 150 g butter, soft
- 150 ml maple syrup
- 1 organic lemon, zest, and juice of half
- pinch salt
- 3 eggs
- 150 g spelt flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- about 19 Italian plums, cut in half
-Line the bottom of a 24 cm Springform pan with parchment paper, grease and flour the sides. Preheat the oven to 350 F/180 C.
– Whisk together the butter, maple syrup, lemon juice, zest and salt. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
-Add the flour and baking powder, stir until well combined. Pour into prepared baking pan. Top with the plums and sprinkle with some almond slices if desired. I also dusted the plums with a bit of cinnamon.
– Bake in preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until tester inserted into centre of cake comes out clean.
-Let cool completely, dust with icing sugar if desired.
It’s so yummy, I hope you give it a try!
Enjoy!

This cake looks delicious! I love plums in any possible way, but unfortunately the season here is over by now. Will have to wait for next year to try it. 🙂

Your slice of plum cake looks so enticing. Whenever we are in Europe in the fall and I see plum cake, I must always order a piece.
