Wow! We made this gluten free by using Annalise Roberts' cake flour mix plus 1/2 tsp xanthan gum, and it was superb! :-)
I have made this with several kinds of fruit, even a chocolate-cake with bananas version, it's a big hit every time!!!
Thank you!

Made for my husband's 60th birthday and again a week later for a dinner party. Used one of my trusty cast iron skillets and it was delish. While it may be dark on the fruity top because of the cast iron I rather liked it that way. The cake itself was wonderfully white and tender thanks to the buttermilk. Served warm with a little vanilla ice cream....it doesnt get any better than this.

I found the last of the autumn plums in the store the other day and made this little gem - it was lovely!! I cut the sugar down a bit and used yoghurt because I had no buttermilk and it still came out just fine. A lovely quick cake - thanks for sharing!

I used frozen blueberries but otherwise followed the recipe as it. I got so many compliments on the cake! It was very moist and delicious. My new showpiece!

This was delicious. I used blackberries instead of blueberries, and it worked really well. I will definitely be making this again.

Wow!! What a moist cake. It has great flavors. Very easy to make. I will be making this again. I wanted to mention that I used my iron skillet to make this. I think thats why it turned out so dark. Thank You for posting.

Holy smokes, this is so amazingly good. I was talking while baking and forgot to alternate the mixing but it still turned out awesome. I sliced the plums instead of halving and used fresh but frozen blueberries and it looked beautiful. The brown sugar makes it all carmely-if that's a word? And I don't keep buttermilk around so just added a couple teaspoons of vinegar to the milk. I will make this a lot, thank you!

So tasty! Only change I made was to use a few more plums and blueberries than called for in the recipe. Easy and really pretty when flipped. Would wow at a dinner party.

I made this cake using 1& 1/2 cups of fresh blueberries and left out the plums. I also decreased the amount of butter, in the bottom of the pan, to 4 tablespoons. The finished cake, when inverted, has a lovely thick jelly-like covering because the blueberries do not keep their form. After the cake cooled, I piped whipped topping around the outer edges to dress it up a little. Very delicious cake and my family is enjoying every bite. Thanks for posting.

I'm posting this so others with the same idea will know what to expect. I wanted to cut down on the butter so I used 3, rather than 6T of butter in the first step. Other than that I didn't change anything. There was plenty of butter in the finished product but I'm betting it wasn't as pretty as it would have been had I used more. The brown sugar and butter didn't soak into the cake as much as it might have, resulting in a crust that covered the plums and blueberries. Tasted great though.
