Ingredients
 

  • ½ cup butter (softened at room temperature)
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder
  • teaspoon nutmeg powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 to 3 plums
  • 1 teaspoon sugar to sprinkle on top
  • slivered almonds

Instructions
 

  • Pre heat the oven to 350 F and grease a 6-inch round pan with oil or butter. Layer a parchment paper at the bottom of the pan.
  • Whisk butter and sugar until it’s all mixed together.
  • Add one egg at a time and mix it with the butter and sugar.
  • Next, sift the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, cardamom powder, nutmeg powder and salt.
  • Using a rubber spatula, mix the dry ingredients to the egg mixture. The batter will be quite thick.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and level the top.
  • Slice the plum into wedges and press it on top of the cake batter. Sprinkle slivered almond and sugar.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until it’s baked through! Poke a knife or chopstick in the center of the cake and if it comes out clean, it’s ready.
  • Let me cake rest for 5 minutes before you take it out of the pan.
