Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Combine 3/4 cup sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons water in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet and stir until the mixture looks like wet sand. Cook over medium-high heat, gently swirling the pan occasionally but not stirring, until light amber, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and arrange the plums in concentric circles over the caramel; set the skillet aside.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Beat the butter and the remaining 1 cup sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition, then beat in the vanilla. Whisk the milk, sour cream and lemon zest in a small bowl. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the milk mixture, beginning and ending with the flour, and mix until just incorporated. Pour the batter over the plums and spread evenly.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. (Cover loosely with foil if the cake is browning too quickly.) Let sit 15 minutes, then invert onto a platter and let cool completely.
CORNMEAL PLUM CAKE WITH LEMON WHIPPED CREAM
Cornmeal gives this airy cake a subtle crunch and deliciously delicate texture. Plums are the perfect summertime fruit to star in this dessert: Their sweet-tart flavor really shines and their ruby-red color permeates the batter in the most beautiful way. Serve this cake with any summer meal, using whatever stone fruits you have on hand for a light and satisfying dessert.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray and sprinkle the bottom with 1 tablespoon cornmeal.
- Place the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whip on medium-high speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Add 1/3 cup of the sugar in a stream and whip to soft-medium peaks or the consistency of marshmallow cream. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Wipe the stand mixer bowl out with a paper towel. Whisk the flour, remaining 1/3 cup cornmeal, 2/3 cup sugar, baking powder and salt until combined. Add the egg yolks, lemon zest, cream, butter, oil and vanilla and mix on low speed until combined. Scrape the bowl and whisk clean and mix on medium speed for 20 seconds.
- Use a spatula to fold the whipped egg white mixture into the batter in two additions, mixing until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread until smooth. Place the plum slices over the top and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs, 44 to 48 minutes.
- Cool the cake in the pan on a rack for 20 minutes. Remove the sides of the pan and let the cake cool until barely warm. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature with a dollop of Lemon Whipped Cream. Store leftover cake covered at room temperature on the counter overnight.
- Combine the sugar, zest and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Stir the mixture with a spoon to release the lemon aroma. Add the cream and vanilla and whip on medium speed until medium peaks form. Serve a dollop with a slice of Cornmeal Plum Cake. Store leftover cream covered in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/ gas 5. Arrange the plums cut-side down in a single layer in a roasting tin, sprinkle over the brown sugar and roast for 10 mins until tender but still holding their shape. Leave to cool a little in the tin.
- Butter the base and sides of a 20cm springform tin and line with baking parchment. Tip the ricotta, caster sugar and lemon zest into a stand mixer and beat for 5 mins, or do this with an electric whisk. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. With the motor running, slowly pour in the butter, beating until fully combined. Add the flour and baking powder, and quickly mix just to incorporate - don't over-beat. Spoon into the tin, then press the roasted plums on top, cut-side up, and sprinkle over the hazelnuts.
- Bake for 50 mins-1 hr, or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool until just warm, or fully cool. Serve with crème fraîche.

LEMON PLUM CAKE
This is a great cake for a bridal shower, baby shower, or tea party. It's light, fluffy, and not too sweet. The plums and lemon zest work very well together.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan, and line the bottom with a round piece of parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; beat in eggs one at a time, then beat in vanilla extract and lemon zest. Mix the butter mixture into the flour mixture, alternating with yogurt until the mixture forms a smooth, even batter. Spread the batter into the prepared cake pan. Place the plum slices into a bowl, and toss with 2 tablespoons of flour. Arrange the plum slices onto the cake in a decorative pattern.
- Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 30 minutes. Loosely cover the cake with foil, and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the cake pulls away from the sides of the pan, 30 to 40 more minutes.
- Let cake cool completely in pan. Run a knife around the edge of the cake to loosen, and remove from pan. Dust with powdered sugar before slicing.
