How to make it
- Preheat your oven to 325F Lightly grease the ramekins/baking dishes with a neutral oil.
- Place the butter, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and the vanilla sugar together in a bowl & cream on medium speed for 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat for 3 minutes more, or until the mixture turns white. Increase the speed to high and add the eggs one at a time, beating for 30 seconds between additions. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the vanilla and almond extracts, beating on high for 30 seconds more.
- On low speed add the flour, 1/4 cup at a time, then the baking soda, beating for 15 seconds. Add the buttermilk and mix again for a few seconds, then finish the mixing process by hand to prevent over mixing the batter.
- Divide the batter among your baking dishes. Place a plum half, cut side up, into each dish, gently pushing it down into the batter. Don’t push it in too far, you want to leave some of it above batter level. Sprinkle an equal amount of the remaining brown sugar over each plum. Sprinkle with almond slivers if you like.
- Place the dishes on a cookie pan, then bake for 25-30 minutes until the cakes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the cake part of the dessert comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving warm, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if you like.
- These cakes will keep for one day, wrapped airtight .
