Fresh Plums in a Cake !! (Plum Cake)

          This is a quick and easy recipe for a cake which makes a good use of fresh fruits like plums/ grapes/ peaches/ apples/pineapples/mangoes or it can be made with canned fruit too..I have used plums here...I made the second time plums along with black grapes...It just melts in your mouth..So easy as there is no pureeing of the fruit...Just prepare the cake batter & press the cut fruits on top of it...The cake top is then garnished with cinnamon , sugar & butter which just lightens up the whole house with its aroma.....
