Instructions
To create the delightful Skillet Plum Cake, start by preparing the brown butter. In a small skillet, heat the butter over medium-low heat while stirring continuously. After approximately 3 to 4 minutes, the butter will froth and start to turn a golden brown. At this point, remove it from the heat and set aside.
Next, in a mixing bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and almond essence. Whisk them together until well blended and set aside. In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gently incorporate the orange zest into the flour mixture by rubbing it between your fingers, releasing the zesty aroma into the flour.
Once combined, pour the egg and milk mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth. Finally, add the prepared brown butter into the batter and mix well until fully incorporated.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Generously grease a 10-inch skillet with softened butter. Pour the prepared batter into the skillet, then artfully arrange the sliced plums on top, allowing their vibrant colors to shine through.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The cake is ready when a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the cake cool slightly.
Serve this warm Skillet Plum Cake as a delightful evening snack alongside a Hot Coffee Latte or as a luscious dessert topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce. It’s a charming end to a weekend dinner, sure to impress family and friends alike.
Enjoy this deliciously moist and flavorful cake that captures the essence of fresh plums and nutty brown butter!
