I washed the plums, dried them and cut them into two halves. It is important that they are neither too ripe nor too hard.
In a bowl, I mixed the sugar, eggs and vanilla and beat with a mixer until they increased in volume. Then I gradually added the oil, while stirring.
I mixed the yogurt with the soda and let it activate well.
Then I added it to the mixture and gave it a final stir with a mixer.
I sifted the flour and added it, while stirring with a spatula.
It is important to observe the amount of flour, because if more is added, the fruit cake will not be so fluffy.
I greased a 12.5x10″ (32x25 cm) pan with butter and lightly sprinkled it with flour. I poured the plum cake mixture into it and arranged the plum halves open side up on top.
I put the cake to bake in a well-heated oven at 320°F (160°C) for about 30 minutes or until fully baked. I sprinkled it with powdered sugar.
It is preferable to bake the delicious plum cake in a larger baking pan, because this way you will get a more even ratio between the fruit and cake parts.
Enjoy!
