#3881 - Plum Loaf

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 1/2 cups pitted/chopped plums
1 TBSP flour + 1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup softened butter
1 cup white sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/3 cup Breakstone's sour cream
1/4 cup Domino's dark brown sugar (packed)

In a bowl add chopped plum pieces and 1 TBSP flour--toss to coat. In a mixer add butter and white sugar--beat. Add eggs and vanilla--beat. Add salt and baking soda--beat. Slowly add flour--beat. Add sour cream--beat. Remove bowl from mixer--add coated plums--stir to mix. Pour batter into a greased and floured bread loaf pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top. Bake at 350 degrees 50-60 minutes--test with a toothpick for doneness. Cool for 15 minutes, then loosen and remove loaf. Place loaf on a cake plate until completely cool before slicing. Note: even with the brown sugar, this is very tart.
