3/4 c sugar
1/4 c molasses
1 lg. can(s) pears, (drained)
1 sm. can(s) plums, (drained)
1 stick butter
2/3 c brown sugar, (i use 1/2 white)

2 c flour
1 & 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 c yoghurt, or buttermilk

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375F. Melt butter in a 10-12 inch cast iron, (or heavy ovenproof), skillet over low heat. Add 3/4 c. sugar & 1/4 c. molasses to pan & stir. Place fruit in pan trying not to leave large spaces. Cook over low heat while you prepare the cake.
  • 2. Cake: beat 1 stick butter & 2/3 c. sugar until light & fluffy. Mix in vanilla & eggs. Combine flour & baking powder, salt & cinnamon, then add alternately with yogurt to the butter/sugar mixture , until well blended. Spoon batter to cover fruit.
