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 :))

Ok one more thing about the cake, than I shut up :)
You can also spread the batter on a cookie sheet with the small sides. You will taste a lot more of the plums that way.
When I use the cookie sheet i add streusel on top and I always add the almonds {you can add pecans or walnut, whatever you prefer]
I kinda wing my streusels, mix some flour and sugar and add a few tbs of hard butter and crumble it up until most of the butter is incorporated . and just sprinkle that on cake before you add the almonds.
The streusels will not have to cover the whole cake...you want to be able to see the plums.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! Your decorations are beautiful but for me the recipe is the best part of this post. I was in Germany some 50 years ago when hubby was in the army and got this cake at the bakery around the corner from where we lived, but the best cake came from a neighbor who had no oven but would take her cake in pan to local bakery to be baked. And then would share with us. If you have never had this it is well worth the time to make. again Thanks Pat
