Plum Upside-Down Cake (Honeycomb Cake)

Once it's baked and flipped, this cake looks just like a honeycomb. It's one of my favorites — and one that's been unfairly forgotten. The original calls for 200 g of sugar in the batter, but that felt like too much, even though it isn't cloying, so I cut it back by a quarter. The cake comes out not only delicious but beautiful, thanks to the neat pattern of plums that really does resemble a honeycomb.

    1. Batter. Cream the softened butter with the sugar and vanilla sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs, salt, milk, and baking powder, and beat well with a mixer. Add the flour and ground almonds and beat until smooth.
    1. Filling. Wash the plums, cut them in half, and remove the pits.
    1. Caramel. In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Add the sugar and brandy, bring to a boil, and cook until the sugar dissolves.
    1. Butter a baking dish and arrange the plums cut-side down on the bottom. Carefully pour the hot caramel over them. Gently spoon the batter on top of the caramel, taking care not to disturb the layers.
    1. Bake the cake at 350°F (180°C) for about 35 minutes, testing for doneness with a toothpick.
    1. Take the finished cake out of the oven, cover it with a towel, and let it rest for 10 minutes. Then carefully invert it onto a platter. Garnish with mint.
