Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 10-inch springform pan.

  2. Sprinkle prepared plums with lemon juice in a bowl.

  3. Combine flour, butter, sugar, eggs, sour cream, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest in the bowl of a food processor, pulse until blended. Process on low speed until smooth. Pour batter into the prepared springform pan.

  4. Arrange plums, cut-side down, on the batter. They can touch or even overlap, the more plums you can fit, the better the cake. Dust with cinnamon.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 15 to 20 minutes before serving. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
