Full of fruity flavor, this moist plum cake is topped with nuts and has a homey, old-fashioned look and texture, notes Clackamas, Oregon's Betty Doane. "The recipe is quite old and was given to me by one of the best cooks I know. It's a delicious dessert served warm with whipped topping."

I had some trouble finding fresh plums, so I used frozen plums instead. The cake still turned out well, but the plums were a bit mushy.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
