Steps

45 mins

1

FOR CAKE: beat sugar and butter until light. Add eggs one by one and beat.
2

In another bowl, sift baking powder and all purpose flour together. Add it to the butter, sugar and eggs mixture gradually whisking and combining it. Beat until a fine batter is formed. If it is too thick, milk can be added for desired consistency.
3

Grease baking dish. Pour the batter and line plums cut in wedges on the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 180° for 35 minutes (or according to your settings of oven, mine took around 36 mins.)
4

While the cake bakes. Prepare the jam and cool it down. FOR JAM. Actually i didn't used any ingredient for setting the jam, but it worked well if you use seeds while cooking (i read it in a cook book), so cooking your plums with seeds in it actually helps.
5

Heat a pan or wok add half cut plums to it, add half a cup of water and give it a boil. Add sugar and stir continuously. Add half a cup of water again and stir. Cook over medium heat until it thickens (and its skin is almost dissolved) Switch off the heat and remove the seeds and let it cool down. Store it in a jar.
6

Cake out from the oven. Pour the jam. Serve
