Ingredients
  

Cake Batter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 60 grams sugar (1/3 cup)
  • 10 grams vanilla sugar (1 tablespoon)
  • 60 grams melted butter (1/4 cup)
  • 130 grams yogurt (1/2 cup)
  • 150 grams flour (1 1/4 cups)
  • 1 packet baking powder (7 grams)
Topping and Plums
  • 10 pieces plums (about 2 cups, pitted and halved)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 40 grams cold butter (cut into pieces, 3 tablespoons)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl until foamy.
  2. Gradually add the granulated sugar and vanilla sugar, beating continuously until pale and fluffy.
  3. Pour in the melted butter and yogurt, then mix thoroughly until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the flour with baking powder, sift it, and gently fold into the egg mixture until smooth.
Assembly
  1. Line a hot air fryer pan with baking paper and pour the batter in evenly.
  2. Wash and cut the plums in half, then arrange them in the batter, cut side up.
  3. In another bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and cold butter pieces to create a crumble.
  4. Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the arranged plums.
Cooking
  1. Preheat the hot air fryer to 160°C (320°F) and bake for 25 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  2. Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

Serve slightly warm or at room temperature, with a dusting of powdered sugar on top. Pairs wonderfully with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or refrigerated for up to a week. Substitute plums with other fruits like peaches or cherries for variation.
