Meanwhile rinse plum, halve and remove pits.
Preheat oven to 180°C (approximately 350°F).
Combine all ingredients for dough in a bowl and knead to a smooth dough. Line a buttered baking sheet with dough and form a little edge.
Add almonds, sugar, butter and cream in a saucepan and bring to a boil again while stirring, then set aside.
Whisk egg whites until stiff and sprinkle with remaining sugar (about 50 grams). Mix egg whites with rice mixture and a little lemon juice. Spread mixture onto dough and distribute plums on top, cut side up. Sprinkle with cinnamon and spread almond paste on top. Bake cake in a preheated oven for about 40 minutes. Remove cake, let cool and cut into pieces to serve.
