1½ cup almond flour refined and finely ground
1 cup all-purpose flour
1½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ cup maple syrup
½ cup plant-based milk
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp almond extract or vanilla extract
5 plums pitted
1 tbsp coconut sugar or brown sugar optional

Instructions

Pre-heat thew oven to 350º. Also, cover the bottom of a 9 inch springform baking dish with parchment paper (a 9 inch pie plate works too).
Slice the plums in half and remove their pits.
In a medium bowl, combine the plant-based milk with the lemon juice and let it rest for 5-10 minutes (it might curdle and look thicker, that's fine). Then, add the maple syrup and almond extract and stir to combine.
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder and baking soda and stir to combine. Then, pour the wet ingredients over and combine.
Pour the batter into the prepare baking dish and use a spatula to even its surface. Then, press the halved plums into the batter with the cut side facing up. Sprinkle the coconut sugar over the whole surface (optional).
Bake in the oven for 38-39 minutes. Then, let the cake cool down for about 10-15 minutes before removing the sides of the dish (if using a springform baking dish) and slicing.

Notes

This cake is best to eat the same day it was prepared as the fruits and cake can turn soggy over time, but we kept our leftovers in the fridge in an air-tight container for a few days and it was still pretty good.
You can use other stone fruits such as apricots, peaches, cherries, nectarines, etc.
Serve cold or warm with a side of vegan ice cream or coconut whipped cream. If serving for breakfast, add a dollop of vegan yogurt with chopped almonds or walnuts.
