Plum Skillet Cake

It's time for a little coffeecake. 
I love using my cast iron skillet for everything.
Baking in it just seems so rustic country cozy.
I've make a great chocolate skillet cake and
of course it's perfect for corn bread.
This plum cake is just right for a little Sunday
afternoon kaffee und kuchen time.
 Add flour to a greased cast iron skillet. 
 Toss and tap out excess.
 Beat butter and sugar until fluffy.
 Beat in egg.
 Add flour mixture, alternately 
with buttermilk.
 The batter will be light and fluffy.
 Spread batter into pan and top with plums.
Other fruit is good too, see variations.
Bake @375º until golden, about 30 minutes.
