SAVTA YEHUDIT’S STONE FRUIT CAKE

I make it with Santa Rosa plums when they’re in season for the two weeks in the summer. 

Ingredients

  • 7 oz sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/3 cups flour (1/3 flour, 1/3 potato flour, 1/3 cornstarch)
  • 1 tbsp. baking powder
  • 10 plums or peaches or apricots
  • 1 stick of butter

Instructions

  1. Beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time. Slowly add flour and baking powder.
  2. Preheat oven to 350F.
  3. Spray a 9″ round or 8″ square cake pan.
  4. Pour in the batter.
  5. Cut the fruit in half and place in the batter, round-side up.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. The dough will rise around and often oven the fruit.
