Did you know that coffee cakes don't really have coffee in them? They get their name because you supposed to drink coffee while you eat them. So a few days ago I sent my daughter to the neighboring garden for some plums. It is a fact that neighbors' fruits always taste better (similar to the grass being greener on the other side ;) ) In the meantime I found this amazing recipe on the Joy of Baking site for a Plum Coffee Cake. http://www.joyofbaking.com/PlumCoffeeCake.html Most of their recipes have been tested, so I was pretty comfortable trying it myself. And the result was wonderful. There is some ground almonds in the cake which add an extra touch, orange juice and orange do a wonderful job too.
Oh, and instead of coffee I ate with homemade Honey Lavender ice cream.
What a treat!!!
