For this cake, thinly sliced Italian plums are strewn into the bottom of a pan, the batter is poured in, and then blueberries are scattered over. During baking, many of the blueberries drift to the bottom. When you flip the cake over, the bottom becomes a charmingly old-fashioned, glistening, fruit-laden top. Add a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, and you're there. Just try to use the freshest, sweetest fruit you can find at this time of year.
