4 eggs
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ¹⁄₄ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 ¹⁄₂ lbs plums, halved and pitted
For the topping

directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
For the topping, combine 1 cup flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl.
Add the cold butter and cut into the dry ingredients with a pastry blender until crumbly.
Set aside.
Grease a 10-inch springform pan.
Cream the soft butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time.
Stir in the vanilla.
In a bowl, sift together 1-1/4 cups flour and the baking powder, then fold into the butter mixture in 3 batches.

Sprinkle the topping over the plums in an even layer.
Bake until a cake tester inserted in the centre come out clean, about 45 minutes.
Let cool in the pan.
To serve, loosen the edge of the springform and invert the cake onto a plate.
Invert again onto a serving plate so that the topping is right-side up.

I live with my husband, four cats, and a sweet mutt named Jada in Scarborough, Ontario, where I work as an elementary school administrative assistant. I have a 31 year old daughter who lives with her boyfriend in nearby Don Mills, along with my sweet granddogs, Frankie and Turbo. I would have to say that my passion is animals, since I have so many of them! <img src=http://images.quizilla.com/H/h0t5auce/1108834307_brown_answer.jpg alt= /> <img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/532663/cookswithcattitude.JPG alt= /> <img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/CalendarGirlsSwap2009.jpg alt= /> If I had a month off work to do what I please, I would first catch up on my sleep and then just have fun - see a few movies and maybe take a couple of short trips - something that wouldn't break the bank - lol!
