I have been baking a great deal lately and I thought I'd cleverly make this cake a couple of weeks ahead of time when I had a bunch of plums on hand. I decided to cut the recipe in half because I didn't have a lot of plums, I'm not crazy about plums, and I have been baking lots and lots of recipes from Dorie's book this month.
You melt butter in a pan, make a really simple batter and pour it over the butter, then drop in plums that have been tossed with sugar. Couldn't be simpler and what a wonderful result!
This was so delicious that I bought more plums and made the full recipe! No picture of that, however, because we ate it all up before I remembered to get out my camera!
I have never cooked with plums--but that has changed! This was delicious. Dorie gets me out of my comfort zone quite often, I'm so glad.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
I love plums but this was the first time I've used Italian prune plums. Very tasty!
ReplyDeleteI love the little note in your book, I wish I'd thought to make notes in mine when we started this group. Glad the cake was such a big hit, I enjoyed it too :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to make it twice! It is such a great recipe, I know I will make it again! I love how yours turned out!
ReplyDeleteHappy Fall baking!
