Ingredients:
- Butter – 100 g, softened
- Sugar – 125 g (divided)
- Eggs – 2
- Flour – 190 g
- Baking powder – 1 tsp
- Milk – 30 ml (room temperature)
- Plums – 200 g, thinly sliced
- Cinnamon – a pinch
Instructions:
- Prepare the Butter Mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with 100 grams of sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour and baking powder, then add it to the butter mixture. Pour in the milk and mix until a smooth batter forms. You can do this with a mixer on low speed or by hand.
- Prepare the Baking Pan: Grease a baking pan with butter and dust it lightly with flour to prevent sticking. Lay the thinly sliced plums on the bottom of the pan in an even layer.
- Add Cinnamon Sugar: Mix a pinch of cinnamon with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the plums to add a warm, spiced sweetness.
- Pour the Batter: Gently pour the batter over the plums, spreading it to cover the fruit completely.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the pie for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the pie cool slightly, slice, and enjoy! This pie is a perfect balance of soft, buttery cake with juicy plums and a hint of cinnamon—perfect for any occasion.
