I got these cute little plums from my CSA and couldn’t wait to make a nice dessert with them. This tart was the easiest most delicious thing, good for dessert or as a coffee cake.

I love this cake! Its delicious and so easy! I sprinkled powdered sugar on top and it looked great!
This sounds so great, it makes me wish I had bought the tiny plums I saw at the farmers market yesterday!
I love how easy this recipe is, and so pretty too. I bet some powdered sugar would look beautiful sprinkled over the top!
I just noticed that in the instructions you mention baking powder but you did not list them in the ingredients. could you share- the batter is in my mixer!
You can try, but it will change it and I don’t know exactly how it would work. If you do let us know.
I would think this cake would freeze well, but I have not tried it. It is 1 cup before sifting.
Tamar, two quick questions about this recipe …. does this cake freeze well? This is something that I can never seem to remember – the measurement of the flour is that 1 cup of flour after it is sifted or measure a cup of flour and then sift it? Please let me know – I’d love to try this recipe for Rosh Hashanah.
i have a plum tree in my backyard and i am always looking for recipes. this one looks quite easy. thanks
Can you substitute the margarine for oil? And the sugar with honey?
one of my favorites. I always bake these for Rosh Hashanah
