Made this tonight for my DH and SIL, (sorry I don't care for desserts). They both gave this a solid 5 stars and said that it was really delicious. DH really wanted a second piece but he was already too full. I made this recipe exactly as posted. Thanks so much for posting this recipe. I will keep it in regular rotation, as it was fairly easy to make.
Excellent plain or with vanilla ice cream! I'd recommend adding the milk one cup at a time so it doesn't splash everywhere when you mix it in. I'd also suggest not softening the butter in the topping and just cutting it into the mixed dry ingredients instead. If it's soft then the topping is very gooey and not crumbly at all. Tastes fine either way but it's just hard to glop the topping on the top of the batter if it's gooey.
I was looking for a new way to use our plums when I came across this recipe. This is the best plum desert I've had in a long time and everyone I fed it to thought it was fantastic. I did have to make one change thou I had to bake it an additional 10 minutes as the center wasn't done. I will diffinently use this one again next year when my plums are ready. Thanks for sharing Mark
Somebody complained about the taste of baking soda. I can't see anywhere in the recipe where it calls for baking soda.
I have never taken the time to rate a recipe but this one is so good I had to. I will definately be making it again (and would probably be good with many other kinds of fruit as well). The cake is nice and fluffy with a good flavor. The only change I made was a substituted part of the white sugar in the topping with brown sugar.
We could taste the baking soda in this recipe.
Just had a slice out of the oven and this was bursting with fruity goodness. It uses a LOT of plums so you may want to cut to 6 cups. Butter can be replaced with oil and oil and sugar can all be cut by 30% without affecting taste in the least. This would be fabulous hot with vanilla ice cream.
Delicious! Didn't change a thing and didn't need to! Sweet tart crispy and soft all in one pan.
Made this withfresh plums that had to be used up. OMG it was delicious! I served it warm with a bit of whipped cream on the side. This is definitely a keeper!
