  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, do not overmix.
  7. For the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  8. Arrange the sliced dark plums evenly on top of the batter, pressing them lightly into the batter.

  10. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
