FRESH PLUM KUCHEN
In late summer when plums are in season, this tender fruit-topped cake is delectable! The plum slices look so appealing arranged in circles on top. For variety, I sometimes substitute fresh pear or apple slices instead. -Anna Daley, Montague, Prince Edward Island

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Stir 6 tablespoons butter, brown sugar and honey in heavy medium skillet over low heat until butter melts and sugar and honey blend in, forming thick, smooth sauce. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter cake pan with 2-inch-high sides. Arrange plums in overlapping concentric circles atop sauce.
- Mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat remaining 6 tablespoons butter in large bowl until light. Add sugar and beat until creamy. Add eggs and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in extracts. Add dry ingredients alternately with milk, mixing just until blended. Spoon batter evenly over plums. Bake cake until golden and tester inserted into center of cake comes out clean, about 1 hour 5 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool in pan 30 minutes.
- Using knife, cut around pan sides to loosen cake. Place platter atop cake pan. Invert cake; place platter on work surface. Let stand 5 minutes. Gently lift off pan. Serve cake warm with whipped cream.
Tips:
- For a sweeter cake, use ripe plums and blueberries. If your fruit is tart, you may want to add a little extra sugar to the batter.
- If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
- To make sure the cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Let the cake cool completely before inverting it onto a serving plate. This will help prevent it from breaking.
- Serve the cake with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
