As Memorial Day approaches, I wanted to share this super easy cake made with simple ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. It’s a moist coffee cake with a simple batter, a crunchy streusel topping, and fresh plums. So delicious! You just have to make it. With this batter, you can use any stone fruit your heart desires.

Streusel
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
