Gluten Free Plum Cake with Cardamom Glaze

Hello Again!

I've had a fun morning baking, successfully, some tasty coffee cake.  I say successfully because I made an apple crumb cake that some would call an utter failure, others would call an apple pudding cake due to its pudding like consistency.  Welp, here is the much more texturally appropriate coffee cake.

Feel free to sub any fruit on top.  Just be aware if you use a very wet fruit, it will change the rise in the top of your cake.
