Plum Kutchen

Now that I have a fresh supply of flours and starches and have a bag of my current favorite all purpose flour mix handy in the freezer, I’m on a baking kick. We had company over for dinner the other night and I wanted to try converting one of my recipes from my non-GF days. My sister thought it was a risky move – to try out something for the first time with company coming over, but I figured to hell with it. I don’t often want to spend an afternoon in the kitchen just so that we can eat all those extra calories all by ourselves! Luckily, everything worked out in my favor, dessert was delicious and now I have another bakery item to add to my GF recipe arsenal. This was also a win because this recipe was my grandma’s.

Plum Kutchen

1/2 c. unsalted butter, softened

1 c. sugar

1 large egg

1/2 c. sour cream

1/4 tsp. vanilla

140 grams GF Flour Mix (See my recommendations here) ~or~ if you’re not GF: 1 c. flour

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

6 fresh plums

Cinnamon sugar: 2 Tbs. sugar to 1 tsp. cinnamon

Cream butter and sugar, add egg, beat until fluffy.
Stir in sour cream and vanilla.
Sift flour, baking powder and salt. Fold into batter just until thoroughly moistened.
Spread batter into a greased 9 inch cake pan.
Pit plums and cut into sixths. Arrange in batter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
Bake at 350 for 50 – 60 minutes. Remember: Oven temperatures vary and will affect baking time – always check your cakes by making sure you can insert a toothpick and pull it out clean before taking your cake out of the oven.

Cool slightly, serve with whipped cream or ice cream. It’s good at room temperature too.
