Instructions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch springform pan.
2. 2
   Combine sugar and butter in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, and beat well after each addition. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl and sift on top of the butter mixture; mix to combine. Transfer batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth out.
3. 3
   Set plums inside batter, cut-side up, and sprinkle evenly with cinnamon-sugar.
4. 4
   Bake in the preheated oven on the lowest rack until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Serve warm or cool to room temperature.
