For the syrup, place plum liquid and 1 cup sugar in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave on high 2 mins. Stir until sugar dissolves. Add the cinnamon stick and heat 5 mins on high. Remove cinnamon and cool.
Grease an 8 inch diameter microwave-safe cake pan and line with parchment paper. For the batter, place the butter in a large, microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave on low for 1 min, or until softened. Add remaining sugar and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in sour cream and vanilla. Lightly fold in combined flour and ground cinnamon. Fold in plums.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Cook in microwave on medium 15 mins. Cool 5 mins, then turn out onto a serving plate. Drizzle with syrup and serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
