3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground aniseed
1 pinch ground cloves
1 pinch ground black pepper

180 g butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 eggs, lightly beaten (M)
1 3/4 cups plain flour
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon baking powder

1
Cut each plum half into 3 wedges and set aside. Combine the sugar, cinnamon and other spices in a bowl and set aside.
2
Cake:
3
Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla until pale and light. Gradually beat in the eggs.
4
Combine the flour, salt and baking powder and gently mix into the butter mixture. Don't over beat or the cake will be tough.
5
Spread half of the batter in the base of the loaf tin (app. 25cm x 13cm and 71/2 cm deep) lined with parchment paper, then scatter over half of the plums. Sprinkle half of the brown sugar mixture over the top. Repeat with the remaining batter, plums and sugar.
6
Bake in the oven at 150u00b0C fan for about 1 h 10 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cover the top loosely with foil if getting too brown. Cool completely before removing from the tin.
7
Icing:

Combine icing sugar with enough lemon juice to make a smooth, thick but pourable icing.
