Upside-Down Plum Cake image

I used fresh ripe plums for this recipe, during plum season. The cake is a very soft sponge cake once taken out of the oven, and (in my opinion) It tastes eveb better the following day, especially if cold/refridgerated. It's important to let it rest in the tin for the allocated time (last two steps) - otherwise the cake may collapse.

I didn't have any plums on hand, so I used peaches instead. The cake still turned out great!

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good recipe.
