Beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
Stir in vanilla and sour cream until smooth.
3. Add Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add to the wet mixture and mix just until combined.
4. Assemble Cake:
Spread batter evenly into the pan.
Arrange plum halves cut-side up on top, pressing them gently into the batter.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture all over the top.
5. Bake:
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool slightly before slicing.
💡 Ashley’s Tip:
This cake is even better the next day—the plums soak into the sponge, making it extra moist and flavorful. Also pairs like a dream with a warm coffee or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
