- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup fresh damson plums pitted and chopped
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons demerara or turbinado sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in three parts, alternating with the sour cream and beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined.
- Fold in the chopped damson plums. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the sliced almonds and demerara or turbinado sugar over the batter.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the damson cake warm or at room temperature, with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!
