Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
  • 4–5 ripe plums, pitted and sliced about 1/4 inch thick

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Honey Caramel: In your cake pan or skillet, melt the 3 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Stir in the honey and sea salt until smooth and bubbling gently. Once combined, remove from heat and spread evenly across the bottom of the pan.
  2. Arrange the Plum Slices: Neatly layer the plum slices on top of the honey caramel, slightly overlapping them.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil or butter. Whisk until smooth and glossy.
  5. Make the Batter: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour Batter Over Plums: Spread the batter evenly over the arranged plum slices, smoothing the top with the spatula.
  7. Bake the Cake: Place the pan in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the edges pull slightly from the pan.
  8. Cool and Flip: Let the cake cool for 10-15 minutes on a wire rack. Run a knife gently around the edges to loosen, then invert the cake onto a serving plate.

Notes

Use firm, deeply colored plums for best flavor. If caramel sticks when flipping, warm the pan bottom slightly before inverting. Frozen plums can be used if fresh are unavailable; thaw and pat dry first. Avoid overmixing batter to keep cake tender. Butter and lightly dust pan with almond flour to prevent sticking.
