This was supposed to be a nectarine upside down cake.I had some plums that were too sour for snacking, so I used those instead. It turned out pretty well. I had a hard time telling for sure when the cake was done, so I think I undercooked it. The middle fell down after it came out of the oven. Oh well, at least it still tasted pretty good!
The layers of plums looked so pretty that I had to take a picture!
The recipe can be found at the double trouble kitchen or the little french bakery.
This wasn't the most photogenic cake, but it was delicious.
Hi Sara, thank you for visiting my blog and commenting.
ReplyDeleteI am so pleased that you liked it, which I unfortunately really couldn't (I swear, I made my best! :-) ) ... I love plums!
All the best.
Yeah, I agree, not the most photogenic cake! I took a heck of a lot of photos to get a few decent ones. Mine took a lot longer in the oven than the recipe stated. Glad you enjoyed...it sounds lovely with plums :)
ReplyDeleteUsing the plums was a great idea - this was great recipe for using up fruit that wasn't quite pristine enough to eat on its own.
ReplyDeleteI am sure it was absolutely delicious!
I adore the plums... beautiful!!! my middle did not fall.. but the whole cake shrank by an inch all over!! freaked me out.. but it was all good!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like it came out beautiful! i too was not able to use nectarines and had to use plums.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I used apples and it turned out great!
ReplyDeletePlums would be a great addition. I think several bakers struggled with the time. I baked mine in a smaller pan--and some in a 6 inch pan. It still baked longer than the recipe stated.
ReplyDeleteBut it was a delicious cake!
Looks incredibly delicious…the proof is always in the taste! Love that you used plums…one of my favorite fruits!!
ReplyDeleteI will try plums next time!! Yum!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the cake after all. I have a love-hate relationship with this one! Fun baking with the group! Blessings, Catherine

My middle fell also. It's just a thing with upside down cakes, I think. Anyway, I bet this was delish.
ReplyDeleteMine fell in he middle, too, but still tasted great, i love baked plums!
ReplyDeleteNice idea to use plums. I think this cake warrants experimenting with many kinds of fruit.
ReplyDeletelove that it was with plums. Am sure it tasted great!
ReplyDeletePlums! That was my route too!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great. I am not sure I baked mine correctly either, it was kind of a trickier one I thought. Taste is all that matters though! I bet the plums were delicious!
ReplyDeleteI'm hesitant to make this with so many bakers having problems with it being underbaked and falling! I will be making this this weekend, also using plums. At least it tasted good!
ReplyDeleteJust make sure to bake it until the toothpick is 100% clean. I usually take mine out when it's just a little moist, and that was wrong for this cake.
DeleteThanks everybody!
ReplyDeleteThe plums looks so good!! Your cake looks good too, maybe I'll have to give it another try and bake it for two hours (OK, maybe now that long..hehe)....Dang it...now I want some cake!!
ReplyDeleteI agree, the cake was delicious!!!! I took mine out of the oven a little early too!!!
