  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar

  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten

  • 1 1/2 cups sour cream

  • 12 ounces Italian prune plums or other plums, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

  • 1 teaspoon ground canela (Mexican cinnamon) or regular cinnamon

Directions

Make streusel: Put all streusel ingredients in a bowl. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, blend until mixture resembles coarse meal. Refrigerate.

Make crumb topping: Put all topping ingredients in a bowl. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, blend until mixture resembles coarse meal. Refrigerate.

Make cake: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter and flour a 10-inch tube pan. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together into a medium bowl; set aside.

Put butter and granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add beaten eggs in two batches, mixing well. Mix in one-third of flour mixture. Mix in half of sour cream. Repeat with remaining flour and sour cream. Stir in plums by hand.

Pour half of the batter into prepared pan; sprinkle with streusel. Top with remaining batter. Pour vanilla on top. Bake 20 minutes. Sprinkle with crumb topping; bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes more. Let cool on a wire rack. Unmold. Dust with confectioners’ sugar.
