Thank you Dorothy once again. (I've also made your Marzipan bars.) This is the first time I have made a cake with plums, and let me just say that even my 5-yr-old boy loved it. Easy to make, and I even added an extra plum! Very impressive. Thanks.

Five stars isn't enough for this recipe! You have brought back a wonderful childhood memory for me. When I was a child I lived next to a man who was a professional baker and when plums were in season he made something very similar to your recipe and it was my favorite. I've been wanting it ever since and now I've found it thanks to you. I made it tonight for my Mother's 88th Birthday and it was a five star sensation!!

Made this last week for 'coffee and' after church. There was nothing left! Used fresh plums (very small~don't know what they're called). The only mistake I made was to double the recipe and put all in the same pan. DON'T! It was a bit too much for a 9"X13" pan and dripped~also took longer to bake to get the center done. Delish!

I'm really excited about this recipe. My hubby was recently told he has Type 2 diabetes. I've been searching for recipes to make for him, because he's really missing his desserts! This one got rave reviews from him. Very easy to make. Plus I have a tree full of plums right now that I will can for use in this! Thanks Dorothy!

I have some canned plums that I need to use and I used a quart jar of plums in this recipe. I also used Pamela's Pancake and Baking Mix from the health food store. This mix eliminates the need for some of the ingredients and less sugar; also quicker to make. All and all this is a delicious recipe!

I was looking forward to making a plum cake this fall when prune plums are in season. I prefer thinner, more traditional plum streudels, but this one was enjoyable as well and very easy to make. Don't be shy with the plums.

Delightful and gobbled up immediately at our house. I subbed 1/4 cup Splenda for some of the granulated sugar and it didn't seem to be a problem. The cake is light and fluffy, the plums soft and gooey and the streusel topping just the right sweetness. We skipped the glaze and didn't miss it a bit. Next time I'll double the recipe and bake it in a 9x13 pan.

This was just great! I used some frozen plums (thawed and drained) and I made it without the glaze. It was really delicious warm, with ice cream! Not too sweet, but with great flavour. This is a keeper!

Wonderful! Halved the recipe and made it in a pie plate, was a great size for just the two of us. I was looking for the best recipe for the fresh plums from my aunt's tree, and this was it! (Also used cake flour, some chopped nuts and skipped the glaze) It was the perfect light dessert, thanks for sharing the recipe!
