Plum Upside-Down Cake

• 1/3 cup butter
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1-3/4 to 2 pounds medium plums, pitted and halved
• 2 large eggs, room temperature

• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup hot water
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract

1. Melt butter in a 10-in. cast-iron or ovenproof skillet. Sprinkle brown sugar over butter. Arrange plum halves, cut side down, in a single layer over sugar; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, beat eggs until thick and lemon-colored; gradually beat in sugar. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to egg mixture and mix well. Blend water and lemon extract; beat into batter. Pour over plums.
3. Bake at 350u0b0 until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes. Immediately invert onto a serving plate. Serve warm, with whipped cream if desired.
