Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round or square baking dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.
In a large mixing bowl, cream 0.5 cup of softened unsalted butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the 2 eggs, one at a time, followed by the 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with 0.5 cup of whole milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Layer the sliced plums and fresh raspberries over the batter, slightly pressing the fruit into the batter.
In a separate bowl, combine 0.5 cup of brown sugar, 0.25 cup of all-purpose flour, 0.25 cup of cold cubed butter, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Use a fork or your fingers to mix until the crumbly streusel forms.
Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the fruit layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Allow the buckle to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
