-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 tablespoons stick margarine or butter

1 cup sugar -- divided

3 tablespoons triple sec (orange-flavored liqueur)

OR

3 tablespoons orange juice

2 ripe red-skinned plums -- halved and pitted

2 ripe purple or black-skinned plums -- halved and pitted

2 ripe green-skinned plums -- halved and pitted

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk

1 tablespoon stick margarine or butter -- melted

1 teaspoon grated orange rind

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large egg yolks

4 large egg whites

 

Preheat oven to 350º.

Melt 2 tablespoons margarine in a 9-inch cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium

heat. Add 1/2 cup sugar and liqueur; cook until sugar dissolves. Remove from

heat. Arrange plum halves, cut sides up, in skillet.

Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour,

baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add milk, 1 tablespoon margarine, orange

rind, vanilla, and yolks; stir with a whisk until smooth.

Beat egg whites at high speed of a mixer until foamy. Gradually add 1/2 cup

sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Gently stir

one-fourth of egg white mixture into batter; gently fold in remaining egg white

mixture.

Pour batter into skillet, and spread evenly over plums. Bake at 350º for 45

minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in

skillet for 5 minutes. Place a plate upside down on top of skillet, and invert

cake onto plate. Serve cake warm or at room temperature.

plums in the pan creates a stained-glass effect when you turn the cake.
