POLISH FRESH PLUM CAKE--PLACEK Z SLIWKAMI
There's a thimble-sized Farmer's Market in our neighborhood and one August visit, I bought a fresh plum cake. I thought nothing of it except "Well, now I have dessert for tonight." Little did I know what an adventure it would turn into! The wrapping from the bakery was tossed and unobtainable after my family went insane for this cake! Beyond moist, a perfect blend of tart and sweet, I spent days trying to locate a similar recipe with no luck; every "plum cake" that I found had either plum baby food or some crumb or streusal topping. I finally located the bakery through the Farmer's Market and found out the name of the cake. It's a Polish delicacy and MUST be made with fresh plums, in season fruit.

Steps:
- Lightly coat a 13"x9" pan with cooking spray. Heat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and 3/4 cup sugar. Add 1/2 cup softened butter, milk and eggs. Beat at medium speed 4 minutes.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Place plums on top, cut side up, pushing down slightly into batter.
- Cut remaining 1/4 cup sugar and cloves into 3 tablespoons cold butter and sprinkle over plums. Bake about 40 minutes or until a toothpick tests clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan so the plum juices will be reabsorbed to create a moist cake. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if desired, and cut into 12 squares.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, juicy plums for the best flavor.
- To easily remove the plum skins, score an X on the bottom of each plum and blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds. Then, transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the plums by hand using a fork or potato masher.
- For a denser cake, use more flour. For a lighter cake, use less flour.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving.
Conclusion:
This fresh plum cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a sweet and tart filling. It is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
