                    Luscious coffeecake adapted from Squalicum Lake Cottage Bed and Breakfast in Bellingham, WA. The recipe was published in a lovely cookbook, Northwest Mornings, given to me in a zaar swap by my good friend Lulu B. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1 cup all-purpose flour  |  
                                                1 tablespoon granulated sugar  |  
                                                1 teaspoon baking powder  |  
                                                1/2 cup butter  |  
                                                2 tablespoons heavy cream  |  
                                                1 egg  |  
                                                2 cups pitted and sliced plums  |  
                                                1/2 cup heavy cream  |  
                                                1/2 cup granulated sugar  |  
                                                1 egg  |  
                                                1 teaspoon vanilla  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Preheat oven to 350°F. 2. Mix flour, 1 tablespoon sugar and baking powder together. 3. Cut in butter until mixture looks like coarse crumbs; add 2 tablespoons heavy cream and 1 egg. 4. Press in bottom of 9-inch square pan or pie pan and arrange plums on top. 5. Bake for 25-30 minutes. 6. While this is baking, in a bowl combine heavy cream, sugar, egg and vanilla, using a whisk to beat together well. 7. Pour mixture over plums and bake an additional 20-30 minutes, until custard is set. 8. Serve warm or cool. 9. Store in refrigerator.                              |
