Directions: |
Directions:Put plums in saucepan with sugar. Let stand till juices flow. Bring to boil slowly, stir occasionally. Add cornstarch dissolved in 2 Tb water. Cook only till sauce thickens. Pour sauce and plums into strainer over a bowl. Let this drain while you prepare the cake. Mix topping ingredients and set aside. In medium bowl cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat until fluffy. On low speed add mixed dry ingredients alternately with sour cream. Beat only till blended. DON'T OVER MIX! Spread 1/2 of batter in buttered 9X13 inch pan. Sprinkle with 1/2 the topping. Arrange 1/2 drained plums on first layer. Spoon on remaining batter, (HINT: place several closely placed dollops over entire pan) spreading to cover. Top with rest of topping and plums. Drizzle sauce to cover top layer. Don't over saturate. Bake at 350º F for 50 minutes. You may use rest of sauce for pancake syrup or drizzle a little more on the cake and bake 5-10 minutes more. |
