Here I have come up with another summer stone fruit Plums. Scorching sun and heat has kept me away from extensive cooking. I was spending really less time in the kitchen and baking.. I could not even dare to think about doing. When the first shower happened and the heat resided,first thing I wanted
Pre-heat the oven at 350 F/ 176 degree Celsius.Prepare a 9 inch spring for pan.
In a big bowl, cream butter and brown sugar till light and fluffy(for about 3-4 minutes).
Add eggs one by one followed by the yolks,scraping down the bowls after each.Stir in the lemon zest and vanilla essence.
In a separate bowl,shift together all the dry ingredients.Add the dry ingredient into the wet mixture in batches,and mix in low speed just until combined.
In another bowl mix all the elements mentioned under crumble by hand.
Spread half of the cake batter in the prepared pan. Spread half of the sliced plums.Spread the remaining batter on plums and smooth the surface.Spread remaining plums . and top it with the crumble mixture prepared in step.
Bake for 1 hour or till a tester comes out clean. This cake is best served slightly warm.
Notes
Note:.Because of long baking time,there are chances the bottom might get too brown. while preparing the pan place 2-3 layers of baking parchment at the bottom to avoid too much browning.
