Plum Cake

I love all kinds of fruit especially in the summer. So I try to finds recipes using these while they are in season. This is a yummy cake.

3 eggs

1/2 cup butter softened

1/2 cup white sugar

1 teas. lemon zest

1 cup all purpose flour

1/2 teas. baking powder

1 1/4 cups plums, pitted and sliced

Preheat oven to 375. Grease a tube pan. Separate the eggs, in a small bowl beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set to the side.  In a large bowl cream the butter with the sugar, beat in the egg yolks. Stir together the flour and baking powder then beat the flour mixture into the creamed mixture. Gently fold in the egg whites. Spread the batter evenly into the tube pan. The batter layer will be thin. Arrange the plums onto of the batter. Bake for 40m minutes or until cake test done. Place on cooling rack and enjoy..
