Step 1

Preheat oven to 350℉/180℃. Grease the pan. For easy removal of the cake, place parchment paper on the bottom and 2 sides of the pan. Grease again and then set aside. Slice the cherry plums into quarters.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, add cold butter, sugar, and flour. Mix until a crumb forms. This will be your streusel. Set aside in the fridge to chill as you make the cake batter.

Step 3

In a medium-sized bowl, add in the flour, white sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix together.

Step 4

In a large bowl, add the dry ingredients and about 1/3 of the butter. Mix on low, and keep adding in the butter until a crumbly texture forms. The key to a tender cake is mixing as little as possible, so only mix until just combined!

Step 5

Add the eggs and egg yolk in one at a time, mixing in between each addition. Then, add in the vanilla. On low speed, continue mixing until just combined.

Step 6

Mix in the milk, making sure it’s well incorporated. The batter will be smooth. If it is clumpy, this means your wet ingredients weren’t at room temperature before beginning.

Step 7

Add the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Then take the cherry plums and place them on top of the batter. I cut mine in quarters, but you can dice them up however you’d like.

Step 8

Sprinkle the streusel on top and bake for 25-30 minutes. The cake will be ready when a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow to cool, slice, and enjoy! This cake is SO delicious and perfect for the summer time!
