Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
• 3/4 cup sugar + 2 tablespoons sugar (divided use)
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1-1/2 cups fresh plums, pitted & cut into 1/8ths
• 1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 12 tablespoons whipped cream (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350° F.

4. Spoon batter into a greased 8” or 9” baking pan. Place the plum slices on top, skin sides down.
