Peach and Plum Cake is an easy cake to prepare and it doesn't require any decorating skills at all! Allow the flavour of the fresh peaches and plums to be the highlight of the cake. You can dress it up with frostings or glaze, but it really isn't needed! Soft, moist, sweet, and tart, this cake is best served with a hot coffee on a lazy summer afternoon.

Ingredients

For the Cake:

3 cups all purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
3 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chopped peaches
1 1/2 cups chopped plums
1 tablespoon confectioner's sugar

Instructions

For the Cake:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare a bundt pan by greasing it with non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle in a tablespoon of flour and tap out the excess. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes.)
Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Beat into the sugar and butter mixture until just incorporated. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add this mixture to the wet ingredients and beat until just mixed together.
Add the chopped peaches and plums. Fold into the batter with a rubber spatula.
Pour into prepared bundt pan and bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Once you remove the cake from the oven, it is very important to leave the cake in the pan. Place the pan onto a wire cooling rack. Leave the cake to cool for 30 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and allow to fully cool before serving.
When cooled, dust with confectioner's sugar.
