Plum Kuchen

Ingredients

• Batter:
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 tablespoons margarine
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 10 Italian plums, halved and pitted
• Topping:
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons margarine, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 7×11-inch baking dish.

Beat 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons margarine together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Mix eggs, 1 cup flour, baking powder, and salt into creamed margarine mixture; stir in vanilla. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish. Arrange plums, skin side-down, atop batter.

Mix 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup flour, 3 tablespoons margarine, and cinnamon together in a bowl until crumbly; spoon over batter and plums.

Bake in the preheated oven until plums are softened, about 35 minutes.
