Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9-inch springform pans. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt. Beat well until thoroughly combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in batches, alternating with the milk. The batter will be quite thick. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

04

Step

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Arrange the plum halves closely together, cut-side down, over the batter. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 30 to 40 minutes. (Bake time: 30-40 minutes)

06

Step

Let the cakes cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen the cakes from the pans. Invert the cakes carefully onto serving plates or cooling racks. Dust generously with confectioners' sugar and let cool completely before serving. (Cooling time: 60 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of almond extract to the batter.
If you don't have vanilla sugar, you can substitute with an additional teaspoon of vanilla extract.
To easily peel the plums, score a small 'x' at the bottom of each plum, then immerse them in boiling water for 30 seconds, followed by an ice bath. The skins should slip off easily.
This torte is delicious served warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
