For an enhanced flavor, consider macerating the plum slices in a tablespoon of lemon juice and a teaspoon of sugar for about 15 minutes before arranging them on the cake. Ensure that the butter is properly softened for a smooth and creamy batter. You can soften it quickly by cutting it into small pieces. If you don't have plain yogurt, sour cream can be used as a substitute with equally delicious results. Be careful not to over-bake the cake, as this can make it dry. The toothpick test is crucial for determining doneness. Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
