How to make GF plum upside-down cake

Drop the mixture into the prepared pan and arrange the sliced plums in a circle. Set aside.
Whisk almond flour, gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a medium bowl beat with a mixer the eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
Pour the mixture into the dry ingredients and beat until well integrated and the mixture is homogeneous (1 minute).
