How to Make Plum Spice Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan, or line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Halve and pit approximately 1.5 lbs of ripe plums. Arrange cut-side up in the prepared pan.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and ¾ cup vegetable oil until just combined.
  4. Add 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground allspice, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, and ¼ teaspoon ground cloves.
  6. Gradually add the dry spice mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon almond extract, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  8. Pour batter evenly over the plums in the prepared pan.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully releasing the sides of the springform pan and transferring the cake to a serving plate.
  11. Serve warm, topped with softly whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
