Plum Olive Oil Cake

I've been wanting to make an olive oil cake for ages and finally...here it is!

2 plums, thinly sliced
1/2 cup shredded apple
1 cup flour
2 tbsps + 3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
2/3 cup olive oil
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp lemon or lime zest
1 tbsp lemon juice
3 tbsps red wine

Line a 9 X 5" loaf pan with parchment paper. Arrange sliced plums along the bottom and sprinkle with 2 tbsps brown sugar.

Whisk the flour, 3/4 cup brown sugar, salt, baking powder and soda together. Mix the remaining wet ingredients together and add to the dry. 

Carefully pour the batter over the fruit.

Bake in a 350 F oven for 55 -60 minutes.

Cool 30 minutes on a rack then turn it over and slowly peel off the parchment.

Cool completely before slicing. This is super moist!
