Plum Cake Recipe

Here is a plum cake recipe that is very easy and quick to make.

Especially in the early fall when prune plums are at their best, a fresh plum cake can often be found on my kitchen counter, ready to be enjoyed with a cup of tea or waiting to be served as dessert.

The plum cake is very good on its own, but I like to serve it with a little whipped cream on top.
