Ingredients

3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter, softened, divided
1 cup sugar, divided
1 lb. fresh plums, sliced (about 2-1/2 cups)
2 Tbsp. sliced almonds
2 eggs
1/4 tsp. almond extract
1 cup flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt 1/4 cup of the butter in small saucepan on medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of the sugar; cook 1 min. or until sugar is completely dissolved, stirring occasionally. Pour into 9-inch round cake pan. Top with the plums; sprinkle with almonds. Set aside.
