Instructions

First, melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
In a bowl, mix the melted butter and caster sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the quark.
Measure out all the dry ingredients and add them to the mixture in the bowl. Mix until smooth.
Line a baking tray (I used a 25 x 35 cm tray) with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top.
Press the plums into the cake with the cut side facing up. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
