Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup unbleached flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
2 eggs
24 halves pitted purple plums
Sugar and cinnamon for topping.

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2. Cream sugar and butter in a bowl. Add flour, baking powder, salt and eggs, and beat well. 3. Spoon the batter into a spring form of 8, 9 or 10 inches. Place the plum halves skin side up on top of the batter. Sprinkle lightly with sugar, depending on the sweetness of the fruit. Sprinkle with about 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, or to taste. 4. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Remove and cool; refrigerate or freeze if desired (but first, double-wrap the tortes in foil, place in a plastic bag, and seal). Or cool to lukewarm, and serve. 5. To serve a torte that has been frozen, defrost and reheat it briefly at 300 degrees.
