Upside Down Plum Cake

Plums and peaches and mangoes and cherries, they the best fruits that are available during summers. You wait for the entire year to devour these juicy and flavorful fruits and within no time, the season is gone and you keep longing for more.
Last year I planned to make a few cakes and cobblers with stone fruits and by the time I could decide and settle down with a recipe, it was almost time for the stone fruits to disappear. So this year, I did all my search and planning before hand and now I am all set with quite a few recipes using stone fruits to try my hands on.
Upside Down Plum Cake
The first recipe that I made today is an Upside Down Plum Cake. If you trust me enough, please try this cake. This is one of the best cakes I have made in my baking journey. It's buttery and spongy with a little tartness from the plums in every bite. 
Stone Fruits or berries are best to use when they are naturally available. If you're a fan of them, then Strawberry Cake and Cranberry and Orange Bread could interest you.
During our BFF party, I had baked Upside Down Plum Cake for my girl gang, they loved it so much that I had to pack some for each one of them, ha! While fresh plums are available, do plan on baking this delicious Upside Down Plum Cake after reading its recipe:
