Hey there, cake lovers! 🎉 Ever felt like your taste buds need a vacation but you're too lazy to pack a bag? Well, this plum cake is the sweet escape you’ve been craving! 🌴 It’s so easy to make that even your oven will thank you for not stressing it out. 😜 So, let’s get bakin’! 🔥
### Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour 🥣
- 1 tsp baking powder 🧁
- 1/2 cup butter, softened 🧈
- 3/4 cup sugar 🍬
- 2 large eggs 🥚🥚
- 1 tsp vanilla extract 🍦
- 6-8 ripe plums, halved & pitted 🍑
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon 🌿 (optional, but c'mon, live a little!)
### Instructions:
1. **Preheat that oven** to 350°F (180°C). Your oven’s about to get busy, so give it a head start! 🔥
2. **Grease a cake pan** (9-inch round or square—no pan discrimination here) and line with parchment paper. 🧽
3. In a bowl, **mix the flour and baking powder**. Be sure to show your muscles while whisking, it adds flavor. 💪
4. **In another bowl**, cream the butter and sugar together like they're the best of friends. Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure they’re well incorporated. Then, toss in the vanilla for that “Ooh, what’s that?” flavor. 🤔
5. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Do it like you’re being extra fancy at a dinner party—slow and steady. 🕺
6. **Pour the batter** into your prepared pan. Smooth it out so it feels pampered. Now, grab those gorgeous plums and arrange them on top, cut side up. Feel free to get artsy with it. 🎨
7. Sprinkle a bit of **cinnamon** if you’re feelin' spicy. 🧙♀️✨
8. **Bake** for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and your kitchen smells like a bakery in heaven. 🌟
9. Let it cool before you dig in... Or just grab a spoon and go for it. I won't judge. 🤷♂️
Enjoy your super-easy, totally delicious plum cake! 🎂 If this doesn’t make you smile, I don’t know what will. 😁
