Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup semolina flour
  • 1/2 cup organic granulated sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder non-aluminum
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • zest of 1 lemon finely grated
  • 1/3 cup oil such as canola or olive
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons non-dairy milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2-3 plums
  • powdered sugar for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350˚F. Grease a 1/4 sheet pan (9"x13"). Cut parchment paper to fit into sheet pan with some overhang and press into the greased pan then flip it so both sides of parchment get oiled.
  • Cut and slice plums into about 35 thin slices.
  • Whisk together flours, sugar, baking powder and soda, salt and lemon zest in a bowl.
  • Whisk together oil, milk, maple syrup, vinegar and vanilla extract in a separate bowl.
  • Add wet mixture to dry and gently stir to combine, about 1 minute. Don't overmix.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and spread into a even layer.
  • Arrange plum slices on top of batter.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes until cake is golden brown and an inserted toothpick some out clean.
  • Cool in pan for about 10 minutes. Then carefully lift with help of parchment and transfer cake to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Before serving, dust cake with powdered sugar. This will give a sheen to the plums, which may look dry after baking.
  • Cut and serve. Cover leftovers and store at room temp for up to several days.
