A couple of years ago I got a piece of this cake from an Austrian friend of mine. I really like the cake because it is very light and not overly sweet and you can use fruit in it that is getting too ripe.
Plum Cake
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup oil
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cup sifted flour
2 tsp baking powder
Beat eggs and sugar till light and fluffy. Add oil and beat again. Now by hand stir in the flour and baking powder mixture.
pour into a greased form a little smaller than 9x13 or I used a 10 in diameter pan with a high edge. After you put the dough into the pan, put sliced plums all over the top of the cake. Don't panic if they sink into the batter. Pears are also good for this or peaches. Bake at 375 F for 40 min or till toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Make sure you don't stick it into a peace of fruit. Sprinkle the cake with powdered sugar.
THE SALAD DRESSING So called by Natalie. Melinda also asked for this recipe so here it is:
2T vinegar, 2 T lemon juice, 1/4 - 1/3 cup olive oil, 1 T water, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp sugar, 1 clove garlic crushed, salt and pepper to taste.
Wisk everything together. If you keep this in the fridge the oil will harden so take it out a little before you need it.

That looks great, and I happen to have some plums lying around so I am going to make it!
Tried this out--it was delicious! And so moist, even four days later.
