Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 4/180°C/350°F and grease and line a 40x20cm/16x8in roasting tin. In a mixing bowl, mix together the butter and caster sugar until light and creamy.

Cut the plums in half and place evenly over the cake batter. Sprinkle over the blueberries. For the topping, place the flour in a bowl and rub in the butter with your finger tips to make large crumble pieces. Mix in the caster sugar and cinnamon with your fingers. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the top of the cake. Bake for about 30 - 40 minutes until the crumble topping is golden brown and the cake is cooked through. Allow the cake to cool and dust with icing sugar to serve.
