Fresh Plum Cake Recipe

In a medium bowl, whisk together the 7 oz flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and some of the pumpkin pie spice.

In an electric mixer, cream the 1 cup of sugar with the 1 cup of butter until light and fluffy.

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.

Slice the 5 1/2 pounds of plums into eighths. A good way to do this is to cut around the plum to half it, then quarter it, and then split each quarter in half. The smaller sections should then easily pop off the pit with your knife.

Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake.

Cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes, then remove it from the pan and cool for another 10 minutes before serving.
