- In a large bowl, beat sugar and oil together until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
- Mix in yogurt and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined. Don’t overmix.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Arrange plum slices on top of the batter, gently pressing them in. Sprinkle with brown sugar or honey if desired.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Tips:
- Use ripe, juicy plums for the best flavor.
- Try mixing different colored plums for a pretty effect.
