This delicious, buttery cake can be made with any fruit - fresh or tinned. It also works well with rhubarb (lightly cook first) and add lashings of custard!

Great recipe. Also works well when made in muffin tins for a bunch of smaller cakes (more portable when travelling) instead of one large one
Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC. Grease and line a 20cm round cake tin.
Topping Halve and stone the plums, then slice. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, set aside while preparing the batter.
Cake Beat the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time until mixture is combined. Mix in sifted flour and baking powder. Pour the batter into the prepared tin, arrange the plums over the mixture.
Bake for 45 - 50 mins. Dust with icing sugar and serve warm or cold with plain yoghurt or whipped cream.
