Ingredients
-
3 large eggs
-
½ cup butter, softened
-
½ cup white sugar
-
1 teaspoon lemon zest
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
½ teaspoon baking powder
-
1 ¼ cups plums, pitted and quartered
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch tube pan.
-
Separate eggs into whites and yolks. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; set aside.
-
Beat butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks and lemon zest.
-
Stir flour and baking powder together, then blend into butter mixture. Gently fold in egg whites. Spread cake batter evenly into the prepared pan. There will only be a little over an inch of batter. Arrange plums, skin-side down, in a nice pattern over the batter.
-
Bake in preheated oven until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool before serving.
