Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of fine sea salt
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 pounds plums, halved, pitted, and sliced 1/4-inch thick
Whipped cream, creme fraiche, or ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a 12-inch enameled cast-iron skillet or ovenproof baking dish, melt butter in the oven, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Remove skillet from oven and add melted butter to flour mixture; stir to combine. Add milk and vanilla extract; mix until well combined. Pour mixture into skillet and arrange plums evenly on top, leaving a 1-inch border.
  • Transfer skillet to oven and bake until top is golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature with whipped cream, creme fraiche, or ice cream.
