Mix the flour and baking powder and add that into the mixture. Grease the base of a round baking pan and spread the dough over the pan. Liberally spread plums over the dough. Based on the Cottage Pudding Upside-Down Cake on this site, this plummified version ensures the same fluffy base but with specks of cinnamon thrown in for visual effect. Use a mix of sweet and sour plums for best results and adjust the brown sugar amounts if most of them are sour.
