Knead the dough again vigorously. Butter the baking sheet and roll out the dough onto it, forming a small edge. Sprinkle with crumbs. Wash, pit, and halve the plums. Score the upper part of each plum in a slanted pattern and arrange them like roof tiles on the dough. Sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake the cake in the preheated oven (middle rack) for about 45 minutes (test with a skewer). Slice the finished cake warm or cold into pieces. Whip the cream stiff, sweeten to taste, and serve each piece garnished with a dollop of whipped cream.
