TWD: Plum Cake

Last week, I sat out the chocolate chunkers. This week, I was determined not to sit on the side lines. There were a lot of reasons that I wanted to make Dorie's recipe, but my main inspiration were the plums. I haven't had any all summer. Not because they didn't look good, but because I am horrible at picking out good plums. My mom is a master at picking delicious plums. Me, not so much.

I wouldn't say that I loved this recipe. It was good, but that's about it. I can't blame it on the plums -- they tasted good. I tried hard to love it, in fact, I had big plans for the plum cake to make some rounds during the holidays. No such luck. If anyone asks me to make a dessert with plums, I got one. I'll let you know if anyone request such a recipe.

Now, back on a high note. I love next week's recipe...creme brulee. Yum. I know all the restaurants with the best creme brulee in town. Boy, wouldn't it be nice if I could make it at home and save some money. I have the dishes, a blow torch and lots of spoons.

Thanks to Michelle at Bake-En and go find out what everyone else thought of this recipe at the TWD Blogroll.
