Grandma'S Yeasted Plum Cake

• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3 tablespoons butter melted
• 1 package yeast
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• plums
• 2 pounds plums italian prune, or as many as fit in your pan
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 lemon
• 6 tablespoons melted butter

1. Mix flour and sugar together on a large mixing bowl
2. Place warm water, warm milk and yeast in a small bowl and let proof
3. Pour yeast mixture into the flour and add the extract and butter. Mix together. I prefer to use my hands (t's the way I learned to make it), but you can do this in a stand mixer with a dough hook
4. Add more flour if needed to create a dough. You want it to spring back and not be too sticky
5. If mixing by hand knead a few times on a floured surface (this is my favorite part) when you poke the dough it will spring back at you if it is ready.
6. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl in a warm, draft-free place to rise for about an hour, or until doubled in size
7. Plums:
8. Cut plums in half, remove pits and place in a bowl with lemon juice
9. Assembly:
10. Grease a 13 x 9 glass baking dish
11. Take the dough out of the proofing bowl and roll out into a rectangle and press into the baking dish
12. arrange the plums on top of the dough pressing them down firmly
13. pour the lemon juice over the plums along with the butter
14. Sprinkle with sugar
15. Cover with plastic wrap; let proof for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350u0b0 F
16. After it has risen for a second time bake for 35 - 45 minutes or until the top is golden, the juices are bubbling and the dough the glass is nicely browned
17. Serve warm, or have it room temperature for breakfast the next morning, or really anytime
