Introduction

This recipe is a nice plum cake, from a 'Martha Stewart' LIVING magazine; apparently it's an old recipe of a family friend of the cooking editor.

I used olive oil, because it's covid quarantine time, and that's what I had on hand.

Tips

Bake 30-35 minutes; toothpick should come out clean. Let cool. MS Living magazine suggests that this is best the day it's baked, but also the next morning for breakfast.


Directions

Preheat oven to 400; butter a 10 inch pie tin (or 2 9 inch cake pans)
1) Whisk flour, baking powder and salt
2) Combine sugar, milk, oil and egg = will be quite liquidy
3) Fold the liquidy combination into flour mixture; can be lumpy; batter will be thin
4) Pour batter into pan/s; place plums pitted side up (cake will rise up to meet the plums top, may fall when taken out of the oven)
5) Mix the Topping sugar & cinnamon together & spoon over plums; dot the plums with the small cubes of butter
