  7. Fold half of the flour mixture into the egg mixture until almost absorbed completely, then fold in half of the milk mixture. Repeat this step, being careful not to overmix.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  9. Drain the plums from the wine mixture and distribute onto the cake in ring shapes, starting from the outside until the whole surface is covered.
  10. Sprinkle a tablespoon of sugar evenly over the plums. Bake for 55 minutes.
  11. Let the cake cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then release and remove the outer ring of the pan. Cool completely before serving
  12. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

  • This can happen from difference in temperature of the ingredients. It will be just fine!

  • So…. Is the milk/butter mixture supposed to separate? I hope so, but that is not a reaction I expected.

  • We haven’t tried this recipe with alternative sweeteners, but it is fine to substitute. You may need to adjust the amount based on desired sweetness.

  • Can this be made with Swerve or erythritol instead of sugar?
