Appearance - part coffee cake, part cherry pie. I liked that the cinnamon and plum were prominent- cake is flavorful with some sweetness. Cake could serve 12 people; 2” x 2” square was filling and delicious
Bought this cake to share with my staff & introduce them to plum cake. By time I got into the lunch room for lunch, half the cake was gone! All thought it was so delicious. For me, the cake brought back memories of my Mom and what better is that!
The plum cake was very good. My one suggestion is to use less cinnamon.
If your sweet tooth also loves the tangy this cake is for you. Feels home made (in the good way). Typical simple quick rise cake, but filled to the brim with whole plums. So so so so good.
Fantastic, tastes almost like my mother used to make. Highly recommend it
