Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a round baking mould (24cm in diameter) with butter or line it with parchment paper.

Wash and slice the plums in half, removing the pits.

In a mixing bowl, cream together 100g butter and 100g sugar until light and fluffy.

Add 2 eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 140g flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until smooth.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking mould and spread evenly.

Arrange the plum halves on top of the batter, cut side up.

For the streusel topping, mix together 120g flour, 50g sugar, and 60g butter until crumbly, then sprinkle over the plums.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
