Recipe - Streusel Plum Cake

2 tablespoon Margarine
6 tablespoon Granulated sugar
1 Egg, separated
Three fourths cup Flour
One half teaspoon Baking powder
One fourth cup 2% milk
1 cup Halved plums or other fruit
STREUSEL TOPPING
One fourth cup Packed brown sugar
One half tablespoon Soft margarine
One half teaspoon Cinnamon
GLAZE (optional)
2 tablespoon Icing sugar
One half teaspoon 2% milk
1/8 teaspoon Vanilla

Grease 8" square cake pan, 9" pie plate or springform pan.

Beat egg white in a small bowl and set aside. In large bowl, cream
together margarine, sugar and egg yolk until fluffy. Combine flour and
baking powder, beat into egg mixture alternately with milk. Fold beaten egg
white into batter.

Turn into prepared pan. Halve plums (or slice peach, apple, pear,
nectarine) and arrange over top.

Streusel topping: in a small bowl, combine brown sugar, margarine and
cinnamon. Mix well and sprinkle over fruit.

Bake at 350 F for about 35 minutes or until top is golden and toothpick
inserted into cake comes out clean. Time depends on thickness of batter.

Glaze: Combine icing sugar, milk and vanilla. Mix well. Drizzle over
cake.

My notes: original recipe halved makes 5 servings, but it tasted so good
warm that we only cut 4 servings. Warmed up in microwave for the second
meal. Use extra fruit (fresh or canned) to make 6 servings. Would be nice
served at a brunch moist but not too sweet. Tested with fresh nectarines!
