Chef's Notes
Do not overmix the batter in step three, or you will anger the baking gods and end up with a tough cake instead of a tender cloud.
Pro Tip
Make sure your plums are ripe but still slightly firm; overripe fruit will release too much moisture and turn your pastry into a swamp.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you dump the crumb topping in one massive pile instead of scattering it, you will get a dense, soggy crater of unbaked flour right in the center of the cake.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
My king, this cake is so rich that the peasants are currently drafting a petition to tax the crumbs.
The Culinary Science
The baking powder releases carbon dioxide bubbles when mixed with liquid and heated, giving this delicate cake its signature rise beneath the heavy fruit.

Pastry & Confectionery Stabilization
Storage Science
Cakes and soft desserts should be wrapped tightly to prevent moisture loss and stored at room temperature (if no perishable fillings) or refrigerated. Consume within 3 days.
Reheating Science
Serve at room temperature for optimal flavor perception, as cold mutes sweetness. If it's a baked pastry, flash-heat in a 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) oven for 3-5 minutes to restore the butter matrix and crispness.
