Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup milk any kind
  • ⅓ cup melted butter or oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 –4 ripe plums sliced (you don’t need to peel them)
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round or square baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. In another bowl or large measuring cup, whisk milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla.
  4. Pour the wet into the dry and mix until just combined—don’t overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top.
  6. Arrange the plum slices over the batter. They’ll sink slightly as it bakes.
  7. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Let cool for 10–15 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar if you like.
