Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Whisk in almonds, honey, vanilla seeds and eggs. Place mixture in a greased cake tin and add the plum quarters. Bake for 20–25 mins, brushing with glaze towards the end of cooking. Remove from oven, cool, then brush over more glaze.
