Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment and lightly butter it.
Step 2
Whisk flour with 1 tsp baking powder and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
Step 3
Beat softened butter and sugar until fluffy, ~2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
Step 4
Fold flour mixture into egg mixture until no streaks remain. Spread batter evenly onto the prepared sheet pan.
Step 5
Arrange plum halves skin-side up across the batter. Sprinkle brown sugar–cinnamon mixture evenly over top.
Step 6
Bake 18–22 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted in cake comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 7
Serve warm cake alongside fresh pears and apples, thinly sliced if desired.
