Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup butter, at room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

3 cups diced blue Italian plums

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F
  • Lightly grease two 9 x 5 inch loaf pans.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, and beat well after each addition. Add the orange rind and vanilla.
