Guys, please don’t get mad and throw things at me for bringing this up, but it just so happens that Rosh Hashanah is….a month away. Crazy, right? That means summer is over, days are going to start getting shorter, and cooking marathons are in our not-too distant future.
But hey! It’s not all bad news! Rosh Hashanah and fall mean some great things too. It signals the end of the oppressive heat. That time of year when bugs go back to hell where they belong. It ushers in a season of warm, comforting and inviting fall flavors. Plus soups. Lots of soups!
But I’m not ready to let go of summer just yet! You too? Well I’ve got just the thing for you. Last licks of summer if you will – this summery and delicious Almond Crusted Plum Bundt Cake is so good, you’ll be craving it all winter long. (Hey, I’m gonna go ahead and try this cake with apples and/or pears, because why wait months to make it after the summer ends, amiright?)
Anyway, this super-easy cake is impressive, delicious, and going to become a staple in your house!

- In a small bowl, toss plum slices in flour then gently fold the mixture into the cake batter. Pour over prepared bundt pan.
- Bake at 350 for 45-55 minutes, until the top feels firm and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Set aside to cool before removing from the pan.

Great recipe, only thing I did differently was less suger(personal preference). The bundt cake is moist/dense, the plum slices were even throughout the cake. Almonds are a nice touch! My bundt cake did rise a little too much. But the flavor is what matters, not the presentation. Thank you for sharing.
