Ingredients

Scale

250 grams all-purpose flour
150 grams granulated sugar
125 grams plain yogurt (whole milk or Greek yogurt)
100 milliliters vegetable oil
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 medium fresh plums, pitted and sliced
2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 22 cm (9 inch) round cake pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and slightly frothy.
Add the yogurt, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and whisk until smooth and combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Add the lemon juice to the sliced plums and toss gently to coat.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Arrange half of the plum slices evenly over the batter.
Pour the remaining batter over the plums and smooth the surface.
Top the cake with the remaining plum slices, pressing them lightly into the batter.
Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar evenly over the top of the cake to create a sweet crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
