Ingredients

1/4 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 ripe medium bananas broken into large chunks
1 cup unbleached flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup egg substitute
24 halves ripe pitted prune plums
1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon cinnamon, or to taste

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Beat the butter, 3/4 cup of the sugar and bananas with electric mixer until well blended. Beat in flour, baking powder and egg substitute until well blended.
Spoon batter in 8- , 9- or 10-inch ungreased spring form. Arrange plum halves skin side down; sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of sugar -- more if plums are very tart -- a few squeezes of lemon juice and about 1 teaspoon cinnamon -- more if you like cinnamon.
Bake one hour, approximately. Remove and cool; refrigerate or freeze, if desired. Or cool to lukewarm and serve.
To serve torte that was frozen, defrost and reheat briefly at 300 degrees.
