Preparation steps
1.
Heat the oven to 160°C (140° fan) 325°F gas 3. Grease a 450g|1lb loaf tin and line with non-stick baking paper, so that the paper comes at least 1cm|1/2" above the tin.
2.
Beat together the butter, orange zest and sugar in a mixing bowl until light and creamy. Gradually add the eggs, beating well after each addition, and sprinkling in 1 tablespoon flour with the last of the egg.
3.
Sift in the remaining flour and the baking powder and add most of the oats, stirring gently until blended.
4.
Stir in 2/3 of the plums and spoon into the loaf tin, spreading level with the back of a spoon. Scatter the remaining oats over the top and arrange the remaining plums down the centre.
5.
Bake for about 1 hour, until firm to the touch and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 20 minutes, then place on a wire rack to cool completely.
