Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F, grease pan, I prefer my cast iron sauce pan but a cake pan should work just fine too!

Step 2

Pit and slice plums into thin slices or at least as thin as you can get. Pit cherries, half or quarter them. Place cut fruit into bowl and lightly coat with sugar.

Step 3

Combine dry ingredients, then take the majority of lemon zest and mix in.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine sugar and eggs, cream together for 2-3 minutes until slightly fluffy.

Step 5

Semi slowly whisk in milk and oil into egg mixture

Step 6

Slowly whisk dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mix until smooth.

Step 7

Pour half of cake mix into pan, I like to put a layer of plums in the middle but you don't have too. After small middle layer of plums, carefully pour rest of the mixture into pan so the middle layer is not destroyed. Top with remaining fruit, sprinkle turbinado sugar and a pinch of salt over top. And don't forget the last of the lemon zest! Throw that on last.

Step 8

Bake for 50 min, or at least check on cake and it should be just about done, possibly another 10- 15 more minutes at most. For my cast iron pan, I let the cake sit for 1-2 minutes then it cleanly comes out.
