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.
