Polish Fresh Plum Cake--Placek Z Sliwkami

• 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup sugar (plus)
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, very soft (plus)
• 3 tablespoons butter (COLD, cut into pieces)
• 3/4 cup milk, room temperature
• 2 large eggs
• 40 fresh plums (any variety, pitted and halved)
• 1/4 teaspoon clove

1. Lightly coat a 13"x9" pan with cooking spray. Heat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and 3/4 cup sugar. Add 1/2 cup softened butter, milk and eggs. Beat at medium speed 4 minutes.
2. Pour batter into prepared pan. Place plums on top, cut side up, pushing down slightly into batter.
3. Cut remaining 1/4 cup sugar and cloves into 3 tablespoons cold butter and sprinkle over plums. Bake about 40 minutes or until a toothpick tests clean.
4. Let the cake cool in the pan so the plum juices will be reabsorbed to create a moist cake. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if desired, and cut into 12 squares.
