We like to add a little cinnamon to this cake, we think the cinnamon aroma matches perfectly with the caramelized plum, besides that, gives a slight color to the cake. Regarding the plum, we like to caramelize the plum with the peel, in our opinion the cake stays more flavorful and with a more pleasant look. Bon appetit!!!

Ingredients
- 125 grams (1/2 cup) granulated sugar

- 6 red plums
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
