For the Wet Ingredients
150 g (11 Tbsp) unsalted butter (make sure it's room temperature; to quickly soften cold butter, warm it on a plate in the microwave in 10-second increments, rotating the stick of butter a quarter turn each time)
150 g (¾ cup) sugar
150 g (3 large) eggs (50 g each w/o shell)
1½ tsp almond extract (or vanilla extract)
For the Dry Ingredients
150 g (1¼ cups) all-purpose flour (plain flour) (or cake flour)
1½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp kosher salt (Diamond Crystal; use half for table salt)
For the Toppings
6 plums (more or less, depending on the size; you'll need enough plum halves to mostly cover the top of the cake; read the blog post for other fruit varieties)
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
1½ tsp white sparkling sugar (or turbinado sugar)
