PLUM CAKE
SUMMER PLUM CAKE
What a great recipe for a moist cake that satisfies morning, noon and night! It can be made with most fruits or berries but we have found in my family that in the fall we use apples and in the summer it is plums. This summer one of my favorite treats has been a slice of this plum cake cold from the fridge in the morning as a breakfast bite…..it is just beautiful!
