AnnieS German Plum Cake - flour

Method

• Cream the butter and sugar together, then add eggs until smooth.
• Stir in sifted flour and baking powder and add vanilla. The batter will be thick.
• Spread into a baking pan (9 x 13-inch), ungreased.
• Cut plums in half, removing pits and rinse.
• When dry, place plums, skin side down, on top of batter until it is covered. (I find it usually takes about 21 plums to cover the whole pan, 42 halves, 6 across and seven down).
• Sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar and bake in 350° oven for 1/2 to 3/4 hour until batter is browning on the edges.
• If the plums are properly ripened, they will create a syrupy glaze over the cake.
• This cake is like nothing else I've ever tasted.
