5 large eggs separated
5 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted unsalted butter
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F(180C). Butter and flour a 10x14-inch baking pan and set aside.
Slice the plums in halves and remove the stone.
Place the plums in a bowl and sprinkle them with sugar and cinnamon, then mix them gently. Set aside.
Separate the eggs.
Mix the egg yolks with oil. Set aside.
With an electric mixer, beat the egg whites with salt to a soft peak, then add sugar, and vanilla. Keep beating the egg whites to a stiff peak.
Incorporate the egg yolks by folding them gently with a spoon.
Incorporate the flour also, gently, folding it from the bottom of the bowl to its surface. Do not overmix.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Spread the mixture with a spatula.
Place the plum halves on top of the batter and bake at 350F/180C for 40-45 minutes.
Let it cool in the pan, then sprinkle the cake with powdered sugar and cut it into squares.
