Quick and Easy Italian Plum Cake (You can use other fruit, too.)

This just proves, once again that delicious recipes need notbe complicated! I believe the original recipe may havebeen from Martha Stewart but I found this one, said tobe an adaptation by a reader, on chowhound.chow.com where it was first published in 2005, and has been popular ever since.

No need to arrange the fruit, unless you want to. :)The sugar sprinkle adds a pretty sparkle and a delicate crispy crunch.
You mix the simple batter in one bowl with a spatula, pour intoa greased & floured cake pan, pressthe fruit slightly into the batter, sprinkle the top with2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and bake.


We just harvested the last of the Italian Plums from ourtree, so that was my fruit of choice. The good news isthat you can use other fruits too:
Plums, Apricots, Berries, Peaches, Nectarines, Pears, Cherries, or a combination would all work in this recipe.You can use frozen berries as well, don't thaw.
The sugar sprinkle adds a pretty sparkle and a delicate crispy crunch.
We've eaten it for breakfast, as a snack, and dessert ~it doesn't last long around here!


So easy to put together that I made two one afternoonone to keep and one to give.
