- 1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 tbsp grated orange rind
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 tsp baking powder

Pit plums and cut into 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick slices. In bowl, toss together plums, brown sugar and cinnamon; set aside.

In separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In small bowl, stir sour cream with oil.
