Ingredients

1 cup flour

1/3 cup sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/3 cup cold butter

14 plum halves or a similar amount of other fruit

1/2 cup fruit juice or milk

1 egg

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425°F or 220°C

Butter very well the bottom and sides of an 8" (20 cm) cake pan.

Mix the dry ingredients togetherT

Then cut the cold butter in either with two table knives, a pastry cutter or with a food processor.

Mix the egg with the juice or milk with a fork quite well.

Put the egg/liquid mix on the dry ingredients and with a fork just mix them together until the dry is all dampened. There may be lumps left and that's OK

Scrape the batter into the buttered pan.

Arrange the fruit (plums in the photo) on the batter, skin side up.

Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck into the center comes out clean.

Cool in the cake tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack.

This is especially nice warm with vanilla ice cream or gelato, and quite sophisticated served with a ripe Brie or Camembert cheese.
