Simple Plum Cake

• 6 plums (variety of your choice)
• 1 1/2 cups cake flour (or can use all purpose)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 pound unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons white sugar, additional
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a baking pan (about 8 X 8 inches). Halve plums, remove pits and dice (keep skin on). In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt.
2. In a stand mixer or by hand, cream the butter and 3/4 cup sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well, then the vanilla and lemon zest. Stir in the diced plums and then the flour mixture until just combined.
3. Pour batter into baking pan. Bake in the centre of the oven 30-40 minutes until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Meanwhile combine the additional sugar and cinnamon.
4. Remove cake from oven, dust with the cinnamon sugar and allow to cool. Serve as is or with custard or butterscotch sauce!
