My Mom has a great recipe for German Plum Cake that I remember well as a child, however when I have ask her for it she can make it but nothing is measured so mines never quite the same. This one from Cooks.com is a good substitute although I have modified the crumb topping with one from a Banana Muffin recipe that I love. I think you could do this with several different fruits like Apples, or Peaches.
1/2 c. (112gms) butter
1/2 c (102gms) sugar
2 eggs
1 c. (164gms) flour
1 tsp. (4gm) baking powder
1/2 tsp. (2gm) salt
1/2 tsp.(2.5gm) almond extract
Plums, stones removed, cut into wedges (enough to cover the top)
Crumb Topping
1/2 c. (112gms) sugar
1/3 c. (55gms) all-purpose flour
4 tbls. (56gms) chilled unsalted butter
Mix well butter and sugar. Add eggs. Mix together flour, baking powder, salt and almond extract. Add to above sugar mixture. Mix just until blended. Butter a 9 x 9 baking pan. Press the plum wedges into top of batter that has been spread in pan. Sprinkle topping over plums. Squeeze a little lemon juice over plums if you have it. bake at 375 degrees for 40-50 minutes.
