Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place rack in the center of oven.
Butter and flour 8" springform pan. Line bottom and sides with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl combine flour, almond flour, bakingi powder and salt.
In another bowl whisk together the oil, sour cream, orange juice and zest, egg, and vanilla. Mix in the sugar. Add mixture to the flour mix and stir until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and evenly arrange the prune slices on top, peel side down. Sprinkle with the streusel mixture. Bake until done. This took about 1 hour and 10 minutes in the 8" pan. It will take less time in a larger pan. Check with a cake tester to be sure. It's a heavy batter and will take more time than a lighter cake to cook. Just keep checking it.
Cool on a wire rack. When the cake is still slightly warm remove the ring and parchment paper on the sides. Dust with powdered sugar.
