How to Make Fresh Plum Blueberry Upside Down Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is a light caramel color.
  3. Pour caramel into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  4. Arrange 1.5 lbs ripe plums, halved and pitted, and 1 cup fresh blueberries over the caramel.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/4 tsp salt.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened), 2 large eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1 cup buttermilk.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Pour batter over the fruit in the prepared pan.
  9. Bake for 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a serving plate.
