Easy Upside Down Plum Cake – VIDEO RECIPE

how to cook Easy Upside Down Plum Cake?

STEP 1

To start, preheat your oven to 175°C (350⁰F). In a medium bowl, combine flour and ground nuts, then add baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Give it a good stir.

TIPS: Feel free to choose your favorite nuts or peanuts, ensuring they are finely ground. You can grind the nuts in a coffee grinder or kitchen chopper. Alternatively, nut flour like almond flour can be used as a substitute for ground nuts.

STEP 2

Next, take a large bowl and place the softened butter in it. Use a mixer at medium speed to beat the butter until it becomes creamy. Then, add sugar and vanilla sugar to the bowl and continue beating until everything is well combined.

TIPS: If your butter is too hard, a few seconds in the microwave can soften it up and make it easier to whip.

TIPS: Instead of using butter, you can opt for good quality margarine. It works just as well! But keep in mind that margarine contains salt. So, you might want to reduce the amount of salt in the recipe. Just a little heads up!

STEP 3

Now, it’s time to add the eggs to the sugar-butter mixture, one at a time. Make sure to mix thoroughly after each addition.

STEP 4

Don’t forget to add some lemon zest to give it a refreshing twist. Gradually add part of the flour mixture, followed by yogurt and the remaining flour mixture. Pour in some lemon juice and mix everything together with a mixer at low speed until you achieve a smooth consistency.

TIPS: Want to make the lemon flavor in the cake even better? Just grind some sugar with freshly grated lemon zest. Trust me, it’s a game-changer!

STEP 5

Moving on to the plums, give them a good wash and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the pits and set them aside.

STEP 6

In a small bowl, combine sugar, vanilla sugar, and ground cardamom. Give it a good stir.

TIPS: Instead of ground cardamom, you can try using ground dried orange zest for a unique twist. Trust me, it adds a delightful flavor to your recipe.

STEP 7

Now, it’s time to prepare the tin. Grease a 22cm baking tin with butter and sprinkle it with flour. Place the plum halves, cut side down, on the bottom of the prepared tin. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the plums.

STEP 8

Take the dough you prepared earlier and place it on top of the plums in the tin. Use a spatula to smooth out the top.

STEP 9

Place the tin with the dough in the preheated oven at 175°C (350⁰F) and bake for about an hour, or until it turns a beautiful golden brown.

STEP 10

Once the cake is done, leave it in the tin for about 10 minutes. This will make it easier to remove from the tin. After that, carefully remove it from the tin and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

TIPS: Wondering if your cake is ready? Stick a wooden stick or toothpick into the center – if it comes out clean, your cake is done.

STEP 11

To add a finishing touch, decorate the cooled cake with baked plums and a generous sprinkle of coarsely chopped pistachios.

TIPS: To take your cake to the next level of deliciousness, serve it with some tasty baked plums and drizzle it with the syrup made from their preparation.
