I decided to make a Plum Crumb Cake because it is the type of cake that my family loves. It also makes a large 9 x 13 cake so there is plenty to share. This cake is fluffy and lemon-scented, topped with juicy red plums and crowned with a buttery brown sugar crumble. For this recipe I've added some step-by-step directions to show the process of making this cake from start to finish. I hope some of you will find this helpful.
Step One

Cream the butter and sugar together. Add your eggs and you should have a pale yellow mixture, close to the consistency of icing.
Step Two

Alternately add the sour cream and dry ingredients into the butter mixture.
Step Three

Your final batter should look like this - thick yet not stiff. Scrape the batter into your prepared pan.
Step Four

Place the sliced plums decoratively over the batter.
Step Five

Sprinkle with the crumb topping. Pop it in the oven and in less than an hour, you'll be enjoying some lovely cake!
