Here's a sweet and tasty Kefir Plum Cake Recipe. Big thanks to Claudia-Cristina Ciorteanu for sharing this wonderful Recipe. Get baking!
Claudia-Cristina says, "There's something special about baking with plums. This Kefir Plum Cake is my secret to a dessert that's both impressively delicious and surprisingly easy to make. The fruit turns out so sweet and juicy in the oven, and when paired with kefir, you get a cake that stays moist and soft with minimal effort".
Kefir Plum Cake Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8x12-inch pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar for a few minutes until pale, thick, and frothy. You can use a hand whisk or an electric mixer.
- Add the kefir, oil, and vanilla, mixing until the batter is completely smooth.
Sift the flour, baking powder, and baking soda into the bowl. Gently fold everything together with a spatula until just combined. A few small lumps are fine—don’t overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Place the plum halves on top of the batter, cut side up, and gently press them in.
- Bake for about 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre (avoiding the plums) comes out clean or with a few crumbs.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar, slice, and serve.
