There are days when you want to have tea or chocolate in the middle of the afternoon and of course, if it is accompanied by something sweet like this red plum cake, all the better. It is very simple to make and helps us take advantage of and eat plums in a different way.
We can replace the fruit with any other that we like without much problem. You just have to be careful that it is not too juicy so that the water in it does not add extra liquid to the dough. We can even chop a piece of the fruit we choose to mix with the dough.
We preheat the oven to 170º with heat up and down. We grease and flour a mold of maximum 18 cm. In a bowl, beat the butter with the sugar until creamy. We add the eggs one by one without stopping beating, the orange zest, the liqueur and the juice.
We add the sifted flour with the impeller, mix perfectly and pour the dough into the mold. We spread the plums in wedges, previously washed and dried, on the surface. Sprinkle with brown sugar and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the cake is set.
We take the red plum cake out of the oven, **we let it rest in the mold for about 10 minutes. We unmold and transfer to a rack to cool. Once cold we serve accompanied by sour cream if desired.
What to accompany red plum cake with
This red plum cake is perfect for breakfast or as a dessert. I especially like to contrast it with cream or sour cream, since depending on how sweet the plums are, we can obtain different results. Even if we do it in hot weather, it is delicious with vanilla ice cream. Try different ways until you find the one that suits you best.
