Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180˚C. Lightly grease a 20cm (base measurement) round cake pan and line the base and side with baking paper. Use an electric mixer to beat the butter, sugar and vanilla in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
Step 2
Stir in the combined flour, almond meal, yoghurt and amaretto, if using, until just combined. Spoon half the mixture into the prepared pan. Top with half the plum. Repeat with remaining mixture and plum.
Step 3
Bake, covering with foil halfway through cooking to prevent overbrowning, for 1 hour 10 mins or until a skewer inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Set aside in the pan for 10 mins to cool before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with icing sugar and top with extra plum. Serve with whipped cream.
