Breakfast plum cake is a tender, fruit-topped cake that's sweet enough for dessert and wholesome enough for the morning. Almond and coconut flours bake with butter, vanilla, and almond extract into a soft crumb, crowned with halved plums steamed until jammy. Grain-free, sugar-free, and utterly lovely.

Pro Tips

• Beat the butter and sweetener until genuinely smooth before adding the eggs one at a time — that creaming step is what gives the cake its light crumb.
• Arrange the plum halves cut-side down on the batter so they caramelize into the surface as the cake cooks.
• Add the eggs one at a time and beat well after each; the batter emulsifies properly and the cake rises evenly.
• The almond extract is subtle but essential — it makes the plums taste more like themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use other fruits?

Yes — apricots or peaches are lovely in place of plums. Choose fruit that softens nicely in the 25-minute cook.

Is this cake keto?

It's sugar-free and grain-free, sweetened with granulated sweetener, at about 6.5g net carbs per slice.

How many does it serve?

Eight slices at roughly 296 calories each — a generous cake that keeps well for breakfasts through the week.

How should I store it?

Refrigerate covered for up to 5 days. It's delicious cold, or gently warmed to soften the crumb and jammy plums.
