Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly grease an 9-inch-by 13-inch baking pan. In the bowl of a food processor, combine flours, baking powder, salt and ¼ cup sugar. Add 6 tablespoons cold butter and pulse until it is the consistency of corn meal. In a measuring cup, beat together the eggs and vanilla; add enough milk to make 1 cup. With the processor running, pour in milk mixture; a soft sticky dough will form. Scrape the dough into the pan, and with a greased spatula press the dough to cover the bottom of the pan. Press in the fruit, skin side down until it uniformly covers the dough. (Distribute the dough more evenly by pushing it with the fruit sections.) Sprinkle oatmeal over all. Distribute ½ cup sugar over the oatmeal. Sprinkle on spices. Dot with remaining 6 tablespoons cold butter.
- Step 2
Bake about 25 minutes. Serve warm (but not hot) with ice cream for dessert. Refrigerate leftovers for breakfast.

I love plum cake. This is a good base. Non-American cooks might want to pull back the sugar a little. I do wish, Sam, if you're going to market NYT cooking in other nations, that you'd give us Celsius and cm and gram equivalents of Farenheit, inches and ounces.
Disappointed. It was too dry. It is more like a coffee cake. Try the NYT Original Plum Torte by Marian Burros. It is excellent.
Any suggestions for GF replacement for the whole wheat flour?
12 tablespoons of butter = 170g. I put 2/3 in the batter and 1/2 on top (as opposed to the 50/50 ratio above). 6 ounces milk = 170ml. The directions don't mention how many slices per plum. I sliced the plums in half and removed the pits.
Oops. I meant "I put 2/3 in the batter and 1/3 on top (as opposed to the 50/50 ratio above)." Apologies.
