Begin by preparing the plums, ensuring they are baking ready. You can use canned plums, but fresh plums are recommended during the fall season.

Beat 3 medium eggs with sugar using a hand mixer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is creamy and fluffy.

Add the wet ingredients: buttermilk and oil, and mix well.

Incorporate the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, vanilla sugar, and baking powder, continuing to mix until combined.

Prepare a 28 centimeter baking pan by placing a baking sheet at the bottom and greasing the sides to prevent sticking.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and shake the tray to settle the mixture evenly.

Place 6 plums on top of the batter, cut side up, adjusting the amount based on personal taste.

To make the streusel topping, mix cold butter with flour and sugar until crumbly, being careful not to overmix to maintain the crumb shape.

Sprinkle the streusel mixture over the plums before baking.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 35 minutes.

After baking, let the cake cool for a while before serving.
