For the topping (streusel) combine all ingredients. Rub the mixture with your fingertips to small lumps. Refrigerate until needed.

For the batter, whisk egg, vanilla and butter to mix. Add flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Beat with a hand-held mixer on medium speed until the batter is well blended and smooth. Fold in the plums. Spoon the batter into the baking dish. Sprinkle the topping evenly over it. Bake until the topping is golden brown (toothpick test). Serve warm (or at room temperature) with vanilla ice cream.
