Preheat oven to 350° F. Wash and prepare plums by slicing in half and removing the pit.
Whip butter and sugar until very light and fluffy, at least a minute using a stand mixer on medium high. Scraping down the sides as needed.
½ cup salted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar
Add eggs and whip until combined.
2 large eggs
Whisk flour, baking powder and salt. Reduce speed and add dry ingredients, beating only until the mixture comes together. Batter will be thick.
1 cup all purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, 1 pinch salt
Spread the batter into an ungreased 8 or 9 inch square or round baking dish, pie pan or a springform pan. Arrange the plum halves, skin side up, on top of the batter in concentric circles. Sprinkle liberally with cinnamon sugar.
10 medium italian plums, 2 teaspoons cinnamon sugar
Place in preheated oven and bake for about for 40 to 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
Cool slightly and serve.
