1/2 cup sweet butter
3/4 cup sugar
2lg eggs
1tsp lemon juice
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk
about 7 plums
Beat butter,sugar,eggs and lemon juice until creamy
blend flour,baking powder and salt in seperate bowl. Add to the butter mix, alternate with the milk.
cut plums in half remove pit but not the skin. cut plum in a fan shape-about 4 cuts-sprinkle with a bit of sugar and almond slices.
spread in greased spring form. bake at 350 50 to 60 min. do the toothpick test, because all ovens are different.mine takes about 60 min.
You can make apple, nectarine or fresh peach cake out of this recipe. they are all good.Sometime i use chopped walnuts and sometimes i add a little vanilla flavoring..........Enjoy :))

Oh thank you so much for the recipe, guess I have to go out & buy some spring pans, done without for almost 60 years, but these look so good & I don't like really sweet desserts anymore!
