French Coffee Plum Cake

This French Coffee Plum Cake is a recipe I learned when I was on vacation in France one summer. It is a super simple yet super delicious cake made from whole wheat flour. If you have ever been to France, you will know that they make the most delicious cakes. The secret to making these at home is down to one simple ingredient: butter.

Start by making a cake batter using whole wheat flour. Prepare your plums by washing them under cold water. Cut each one in half and remove the stones. Place the plum halves on top of the cake batter. Make sure they are close together with the inside facing upwards, but do not press them right into the batter. Bake the cake for about 25 minutes. Cool a while before cutting.

To make French Coffee Plum Cake, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make French Coffee Plum Cake

1	Heat the oven and prepare a baking pan	1
Preheat the oven to 400 °F and lightly grease a baking pan with butter.
2	Cream butter and sugar	5
Place 2 sticks of butter in a large mixing bowl with 1½ cups of sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
3	Add eggs and milk	5
Add four eggs to the creamed butter and sugar, one at a time, beating well between additions. Gently pour in ½ a cup of milk and beat until smooth.
4	Mix flour and baking powder	1
In a separate bowl, mix 2 teaspoons of baking powder with 2½ cups of whole wheat flour.
5	Combine	3
Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients gently to preserve as much air as possible. Transfer the batter to the baking pan.
6	Prepare plums	10
Wash the plums under cold water. Cut each one in half and remove the stone. Place each half on the surface of the batter with the inside facing upwards.
7	Bake	25
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
8	Serve
Serve large slices of this cake while it is still slightly warm from the oven.
