Plum Cake Recipe

This  Plum cake recipe is one of my favorite Summer dessert. We have a plum tree loaded with the most delicious Italian plums. The tree is so prolific the fruit fills every branch and limb, often ripening all at once.

And what would summer be without a plum cake?I love summer fruit desserts, what I don’t like is spending a lot of time making them.

This Plum Cake comes together quick,  is simple and can be on your table in an hour.

Plums  tend to sink to the bottom in cakes,  in this recipe we put them on top of the batter. I like to use a spring form pan for this recipe, it releases the cake easily and makes a pretty presentation.To make it more  elegant for special occasions, I drizzle it with a lemon glace, sprinkle it with powered sugar and almonds.

Oh and don’t forget the ice cream….Summer is exciting, not only for warm , lazy days laying in the hammock daydreaming, although I love these simple pleasures,

I look forward to  the fruits and vegetables of the Summer . My food becomes more relaxed, not so fussy in Summer.This recipe is a prefect example, using fresh plums.

The beautiful thing about this Plum cake recipe is you can keep it real simple like I did ,and top it with powered sugar. Or you  can a little more fancy and make a simply glaze by mixing 2 cups of powdered sugar 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.

And if you want to really dress it up serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
