Dimply plum cake from Baking - From My Home to Yours (page 41) by Dorie Greenspan

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I didn't have good luck with this cake- mine came out bone-dry after a 35 minute bake. I did forget to remove from the pan after 15 minutes to cool outside of it, but otherwise followed the recipe as directed. This will not be a repeat.

    I made this with purple Satsuma plums from my tree, and it was both easy to put together and delicious. I added some ground cardamom to the batter, and the warm brown sugar flavor combined with the cardamom worked wonderfully with the plums.

    This is one of my favourite cake recipes for a fruit-topped coffee cake for a number of reasons: it’s made with brown sugar so has a lovely caramel flavour that complements all fruits; the batter is thick enough to support the fruit on the top; it’s made with oil and butter so the cake is soft and moist even straight from the fridge.

    ...taste wise, it doesn’t need a thing. The fruit makes it feel virtuous but underneath those pear halves, it’s still all cake (moist, slightly nutmeg-y cake).

    This is a wonderful coffee cake–sturdy, comes together quickly, and absolutely perfect for this time of year. It would also work with several other kinds of fruit...
