How to Make Streusel Plum Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup softened margarine until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 3 large egg yolks one at a time until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- In a clean bowl, beat 3 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until just incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Halve and pit 4-5 medium plums and arrange them evenly over the batter.
- **Streusel Topping:** In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) softened margarine, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Mix until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the plums.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before glazing (optional).
- **Optional Glaze:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
