Mix flour in a bowl with cinnamon, cocoa powder, vanilla powder and baking powder. (if using vanilla extract add with egg mixture instead). Add flour mixture to butter mixture and mix well. Pour batter into a greased baking dish. Arrange drained plums over top and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30-40 minutes. For the sauce, heat 5 ounces cream in a saucepan, add chocolate and stir until melted.
