Looks delicious and great for breakfast coffee cake I bet!Since I heard that time to start baking was in the air,,, I decided to do such.
This is not a recipe,,, but an idea. I like baking cakes with fresh fruit.
The dough is my basic Baking powder raised. I have posted recipes for it before.
What is nice with this idea,,,,,, You can take your favorite cake recipe, and add fruit into it. Pound cake recipe would work just fine.
This post is picture heavy, I know,, but easiest way to get the idea across.
Lets start with my inspiration...
At the grocery store. produce/fruit section.

These are Italian Plums. They are in season currently. I washed them, and cut into halves. Yes I removed the pits

My quantity of dough was correct for a large pan plus a smaller pan.

I had some streusel saved in refrigerator, so applied it to the top.

Baked. I baked at 350°F for about 45 minutes. Nicely tanned, and pokey stick came out dry. (I use a skewer stick, but toothpick does same service)

Still had some plums leftover, so made a second batch of dough, and placed plum halves vertically. There was also some cherries leftover from previous adventure, so decide to add them here.

Same bake time and temperature as first batch. I had to do in two bakes, because my oven is not that large. I also do not bake on more than one level at a time.
