Ingredients
1 1/4 cups sweet rice flour1 1/2 tsp. baking powder1/4 tsp. salt1 tsp. xanthan gum1/4 tsp. cinnamon1/2 cup brown sugar, packed6 tbsp. butter1/3 cup butter1 cup white sugar1 egg1 tsp. vanilla extract3/4 cup milk4 black plums, pitted and thinly sliced1 peach, pitted and thinly sliced
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 inch cake pan. (I used a springform pan, but if it's not water tight - which mine proved not to be - it needs to be on a pan and can still cause quite an interesting mess.)

Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, xanthan gum, and salt. Set aside.

In the prepared pan, combine 6 tbsp. butter and brown sugar. Place pan in preheated oven and heat until butter melts and begins to butter. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the 1/3 cup butter and 1 cup white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and then stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, mixing until just incorporated.

I drain off the excess clarified butter before laying the fruit down. Either way, arrange plums and peaches in the pan on top of the brown sugar, overlapping slightly. Pour batter into prepared pan, covering fruit completely. Twist the pan gently from side to side to get the batter to settle.

Bake in preheated pan for 40-45 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes, invert onto a serving platter and serve.

    I liked it. I changed it quite a bit - used honey and vegetable glycerine instead of sugar and used whole grain flour so perhaps the end result was less 'cakeish' than one might be used to. I really enjoyed it and would make it again for sure. My husband liked it too. - 9/16/11
