Sweet, juicy plums make this light gingerbread cake a feast for both the eyes and the appetite.
 

Ingredients

1 serving(s) butter-flavor cooking spray   
9 small plum(s), sliced (unpeeled)   
1/3 cup(s) dark brown sugar   
1/2 cup(s) reduced-calorie margarine   
1 large egg(s)   
1 large egg white(s)   
1 tsp vanilla extract   
1 cup(s) McNeil Nutritionals SPLENDA No Calorie Sweetener   
1 cup(s) all-purpose flour   
1 tsp baking powder   
1/2 tsp baking soda   
2 tsp ground cinnamon   
1 1/2 tsp ground ginger   
1 Tbsp powdered sugar   

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Coat a 9-inch square pan with cooking spray. Spread plums in pan, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and set aside.

  • With an electric mixer, beat together remaining brown sugar and margarine until creamy. Beat in egg, egg white and vanilla, scraping down sides of bowl, for 1 minute. Beat in Splenda at medium speed for 1 minute.

  • In another bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and ginger. Stir into egg batter and beat at low speed for 30 seconds to mix (batter will be thick); gently spoon batter over plums, spreading with back of spoon.

  • Bake cake until sides begin to pull away from pan and cake is light golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside 30 minutes.

  • Place a large platter over pan and invert cake onto platter. Dust with powdered sugar and cut into 9 squares.
