Servings: 9 squares
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ⅓ cup all-purpose flour 180 g
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar 133 g
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup yogurt 233 g, room temperature
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 4 oz unsalted butter 114 g, melted & cooled
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 medium plums
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter and line a square 8”x8” baking pan with parchment paper.
- Cut 3 of the 4 plums into thin slices and cut the last plum into bite size pieces.
- Add yogurt, eggs, melted butter and vanilla to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until combined and creamy.
- Sift flour, baking soda, and baking powder into a small mixing bowl. Add kosher salt and sugar. Stir to combine.
- Add the flour mixture to the liquid mixture and fold until just combined.
- Toss in the plum pieces and fold to distribute evenly.
- Transfer cake batter to the prepared baking pan. Arrange the plum slices on top of the batter.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes until the top of the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with just a few crumbs attached.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 - 15 minutes before removing it from the pan and let it cool further on a wire rack.
Notes
- Any type of yogurt would work with this recipe. I’ve used full fat Greek yogurt, 2%, non fat, as well as flavored Greek yogurt. If using flavored yogurt, vanilla works best but any mild flavor would work as well.
- Sour cream can be used in place of yogurt.
- You can also use a 9" round cake pan for this recipe.
