Simple Plum Cake (Gluten Free)

Submitted by Chef #847534

"This recipe has been passed around my family for generations. We are a German family and we love this recipe. I haven't tried it with other fruit so I don't know if it will come out right. If you like you can cut down the sugar but it will affect the taste. One of my favorite features of this cake is the crumbly topping."
