Really enjoyed this recipe. I also added about 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to the batter- turned out beautifully. I will definitely be making this again.

Great recipe! My husband and toddler both loved it. It'd be great with vanilla ice-cream because it isn't too sweet. I used an electric hand mixer to beat the eggs (very easy) and baked it a regular 9 in round cake pan. I also made the following changes: -1/2 white flour, 1/2 whole wheat -added 1.5 tsp of vanilla -a couple pinches of salt -1/2 cup apple puree -half of the butter the recipe called for -soak plums in some cinnamon, manischewitz (any sweet wine would work), and cinnamon -sprinkled with a a bit of sugar at the end for sparkles sake

I'm not sure why this is getting such rave reviews. No one in my house really liked this much. Maybe if you put in other fruits in addition to plums it would be better. I made it just as directed, but in a bunt pan. Guess I'm still looking for a way to use up those extra plums.

How about changing the name to DISAPPEARING Plum Cake?!? This always disappears the same day I bake it. Delicious.

I used a bunt pan for this recipe, and sugar coated the plums before baking. The lemon zest add a nice flavour.

This cake is delicious! I used a bread pan, as I didn't have a round cake pan, and it came out lovely. It may not appear to pretty on top, but the combination of sweet, juicy plums with the cake batter was excellent! Will make again.

Not worth it. I can think of better things to bake using plums

I made this with Shiro plums (yellow/gold). I have a tree that is just loaded. It was absolutely wonderful! I followed the recipe exact, except I used as many plums as I could fit (about 2 1/2 cups)and sprinkled a little brown sugar and cinnamon on top. I served it warm with a little butterscotch ripple ice cream. My whole family wanted seconds...and thirds. I definitely found one way to use all these plums. Thanks

The cake itself was very very dry and even after coating the plums in brown sugar and 1/2 tsp of almond extract and serving it with ice cream, I feel this recipe was not something I would bother with again. Sorry!

Just to let you know I had to change the serving size at the bottom of the screen because its only me and my boyfriend. I feel it was kind of bland and the plum skins too tart. If I would hve added more suger it would have been better. I will try it again but this time add some brown sugar and perhaps use a peach or an apple. Maybe since I didn't use the original 14 servings I didn't get a better flavor.

Thank you for the recipe. The cake was very easy to make. I liked that it was light and not very sweet. I served it reheated with some apple pie ice cream (limited edition from Edy's) and vanilla ice cream. Here are some tiny changes I made: 4 eggs instead of 3, because I had one leftover, light brown sugar instead of white sugar, I added some spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and 1 tsp. vanilla. I mixed the lemon zest with the plums instead and coated them with a little bit brown sugar, which made them sweeter and look glossy at the end. I didn't know what a tube pan was, so I used my pie form. It looked pretty (rustic) and I will definetly make it again in the next days, but with asian pears. I will report on how it turned out. Hope that helped. :) Update: I did make a cake with asian pears but I used a new recipe for a walnut pie crust (interesting recipe). Just wanted to let you know that the pears baked beautifully, in case you were curious. I was very surprised how firm they stayed. I expected them to turn out soft and soggy because of their high water content. The flavor was mild.

For the amount of work (beating egg whites is pretty rare in my repertoire), it's only a decent cake. The texture is quite nice, but the flavor is somewhat lacking and the presentation isn't too attractive, either.

This cake is so yummy and light. It's perfect for a summer evening. My husband LOVED it and he doesn't usually care for desserts. The only change I made was to include some brown sugar with the plum layer and I used an 8inch cake pan (I don't have a tube pan). But it still came out wonderfully. I will make this often.

Excellent recipe! The whole family loved it. I did sprinkle the top with brown sugar. Next time, I will add more plums. Recipe would be even yummier with many more plums. Jennifer :)

pretty good light cake. Good use for all the plums i get from my mom's tree. Sugaring the plums makes it slightly sweeter, but it really depends on the plums.

One of my husband's favorite food. I too added sugar on top of the cake to add sweetness (brown sugar). I don't have to worry about refridgerating this cake, it's gone in a flash!
