Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2
Cream butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg and stir until combined.
Step 3
Whisk flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl. Fold dry ingredients into butter mixture until just combined.
Step 4
Spread batter evenly onto the prepared sheet pan. Halve plums and press them skin-side up into the dough in rows.
Step 5
Mix cinnamon with 1 tbsp sugar and sprinkle over plums. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean, about 15 minutes.
Step 6
Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
