Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
Step 2
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy, ~2 minutes. Beat in the egg until combined.
Step 3
Fold flour mixture into butter mixture until no streaks remain. Spread on a parchment-lined 9x13 sheet pan.
Step 4
Halve the plums and remove pits. Arrange plum halves skin-side up across the batter, pressing gently.
Step 5
Bake 12–14 minutes until cake bounces back when poked and edges look golden.
Step 6
Cool 3 minutes on the pan, then slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
