I finally made this with plums, and it was awesome. My husband doesn't care for sweets too much, but he ate half of this cake the first day I made it! My kids loved it, and it was so delicious. We will absolutely make this again. The only problem I had is that the plums weren't very soft, so a little hard to cut. If I had baked long enough to soften the plums completely the cake would have been overdone. The plums weren't overripe but were easy to eat raw, not crunchy. Should I just use riper plums? Any suggestions? Hi Lish, It sounds like the plums could have used another day of ripening. You can put them in a paper bag on the countertop to speed them along. ~ MaryJane
