1.Preheat oven to moderately slow, 160°C. Lightly grease a 13 x 24cm loaf pan. Line base and sides with baking paper.

3.Spoon cake mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing top.

4.To make streusel, sift flour into a small bowl. Rub in butter using fingertips until crumbly. Stir through remaining ingredients.

5.Arrange plums, cut side up, over top of cake, pressing down gently. Sprinkle evenly with streusel topping.

6.Bake 55-60 minutes, until cooked when tested. Cool in pan 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

7.Serve loaf with thick cream.

You may need to cover loaf with foil if streusel browns too much.
