I agree, any number of fruits--or even jams--would be delicious with the basic cake and streusel recipes. ^^ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16091864503693806315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169908068581653572.post-37979785962509726472013-02-28T21:22:16.682-08:002013-02-28T21:22:16.682-08:00I made this today and substituted dairy free items...I made this today and substituted dairy free items for the butter and it is still beautiful! <br />For those that are holding back making this due to fruit availability I think that most fruits could go in place of the plums (although the prune plums are delicious! And mine were a trade for some lemons off my tree with a family who have a tree so even cooler) so try using another stone fruit, apple, pear, even blueberries etc. I think they would go awesome too! I love the texture of this cake! <br />Thank you for the recipe!emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15479343468888426136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169908068581653572.post-90066586729043567212012-10-26T15:42:48.689-07:002012-10-26T15:42:48.689-07:00I guess we're lucky here in Vancouver, Canada!...I guess we're lucky here in Vancouver, Canada! Italian prune plums are easily obtained for several weeks in the fall, coming from several growing spots including the Okanagan region of BC (and even neighbourhood trees i Vancouver). They are my favourite type of plum. Thanks for this recipe! Going to try it right now.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13124866945312730184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169908068581653572.post-63365336591969504582012-01-18T13:51:37.935-08:002012-01-18T13:51:37.935-08:00this looks delish.

I don't think I've come across a cake base like this outside of Germany. One of the nice thing is that since the cake base is so firm, it holds up well under the fruit! :)ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16091864503693806315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169908068581653572.post-79438473082667123342011-10-27T16:48:16.108-07:002011-10-27T16:48:16.108-07:00Wow, your cakes looks amazing and so as your pictu...Wow, your cakes looks amazing and so as your picture. I would like to try this recipe when I find Italian plums. I have a question though. Is this somewhat dense cake? I have noticed that there is only 1/2 cup of milk for 3 cups of flour.beyondkimcheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07396195109487285023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169908068581653572.post-16254181426486016362011-10-15T05:21:47.350-07:002011-10-15T05:21:47.350-07:00I am learning that in large quantity baking, exact...I am learning that in large quantity baking, exact measurement in weight is the most accurate.
