Plum Pecan Quick Bread

I have an abundance of plums, so I tried another new recipe... here's the original recipe.

Plum Pecan Quick Bread

-1/2 cup sugar

-1/4 cup brown sugar

-1/4 cup vegetable oil

-zest of one lemon

-1 cup all purpose flour

-1/2 teaspoon baking soda

-pinch of salt

-3/4 cup buttermilk (or 3/4 cup milk stirred with a tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice)

-1 1/2 cup fresh plums, pitted and diced

topping:

-1 tablespoon sugar

-1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

-1/4 cup chopped pecans

In a large bowl, combine sugars, oil, and zest. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Alternate slowly adding flour mixture and buttermilk to the sugar mixture until smooth. Add diced plums and pour batter into a greased loaf pan.

In a small bowl, combine sugar, cinnamon, and pecans. Sprinkle topping on loaf.

Bake at 350 for 1 hour.

Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove loaf from pan and place on cooling rack until completely cooled.

***NOTES:

-In case you didn't notice, this recipe is eggless (yay Troy!)

-This recipe was very yummy, but...

-the diced plums sank to the the bottom of the loaf, so it was crunchy on top but mushy on the bottom... if I make it again, I'll probably pour half the batter into the loaf pan and then add the diced plums to the remaining batter and pour into the pan.
