This Gluten-Free Plum Skillet Country Cake—an easy skillet cake brings together wholesome ingredients, freshness, and an absolute deliciousness! As we usher in the warmth of summer, there’s no better way to celebrate than with fresh in-season fruit such as juicy plums.
Gluten-Free Plum Cake For Your Summer Dessert Table
This cake is about choosing nutrient-rich ingredients. Almond flour and a blend of gluten-free baking flours—enhanced with a touch of buckwheat flour for depth—create a tender and moist base.
The addition of cinnamon, both in the batter and sprinkled on top, complements the juicy sweetness of thinly sliced plums, creating warm flavors.
A Versatile Plum Cake
What makes this cake truly special is its versatility. By using olive oil, and dairy-free milk for creating extra moist plum cake, it’s not only gluten-free, thanks to choosing the right blend of flours, but it also caters to dairy-free preferences.
Imagine this: a cast-iron skillet cradling a cake that’s golden brown and fragrant, decorated with ripe plum slices. The aroma of cinnamon and citrus fills the kitchen as it bakes, creating a satisfying and comforting summer dessert.
More than just a dessert. It’s perfect for lazy weekend brunches, where each slice pairs effortlessly with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or a refreshing herbal tea. Or, enjoy a quiet afternoon treat, with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.
In a world where dietary preferences are as diverse as the seasons themselves, this cake stands. The wholesome goodness offers a taste of summer that’s as nourishing as indulgent.
