Ingredients




1 teaspoon Dry yeast
1 tablespoon Warm water
3 cups Flour
3/4 cup Sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons Baking powder
3/4 teaspoon Salt
1 1/4 cups Nonfat milk
6 tablespoons Melted butter
2 teaspoons Vanilla
6 Plums, pitted, cut into thin wedges
1/2 teaspoon Ground cardamom

Preparation

1 Dissolve yeast in water. Set aside. Combine flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in milk, 5 tablespoons melted butter, vanilla and yeast mixture. Pat dough into 11x12-inch rectangle on lightly buttered baking sheet. Arrange plum wedges slightly overlapping to cover top of dough. Brush plums with remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter. 2 Combine 1/4 sugar and cardamom. Sprinkle evenly over top of cake. Bake at 375 degrees 30 to 40 minutes, or until center tests done. Cool to warm and serve. 3 Makes 16 servings. 4 COMMENTS: A fresh plum cake warm from the oven, a pot of freshly brewed hot coffee...these are the makings of a great low-fat breakfast. The base for the cake is a biscuit dough with yeast added for lightness. Nonfat milk is stirred into the flour mixture along with some butter for flavor and tenderness.
