Ingredients

125 g	unsalted butter, softened
55 g	sugar
125 g	plain flour
1 tsp	baking powder
some	milk, if required
2 medium	eggs
1 pinch(es)	salt
12 small	plums, stoned and halved
	For the topping:
1 tsp	ground cinnamon
1 tbsp	sugar, use another 1 tbsp if the plums are sour

Instructions

Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 4, 180ºC, 350ºF and set a shelf to the lower-middle position. Lightly grease a 10 inch, 25 cm cake tin by brushing or spraying with oil.

Cream the butter and sugar in a bowl. Sift in the flour and baking powder, the eggs and salt and beat to mix. If the mixture is dry, add 1-2 tbsp. milk to loosen it. Transfer the mixture to the tin and level the surface.

Arrange the plums around the top of the cake, skin side down. Mix the topping together and sprinkle over the plums.

Bake for 40-50 minutes, until well risen and golden brown on top. Check with a skewer inserted into the centre if done.

Allow to cool and release from tin. Refrigerate until required, or freeze within a suitable container. Allow the cake to return to room temperature and then reheat at Gas Mark 2, 150ºC, 300ºF for about 10 minutes before serving plain, or with whipped cream or ice cream as a dessert.
