Torta di prugne

1. Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch tart or springform pan.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then add vanilla extract and lemon zest.
4. Combine Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until just combined, creating a soft batter.
5. Add Plums: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Arrange the plum halves, cut side up, on top of the batter. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon if desired.
6. Bake: Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tart is golden.
7. Cool and Serve: Allow the tart to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

🍽️ Tips:

• Serving Suggestion: This tart pairs well with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla gelato.
