Well first off, I must apologize for not being around. I have literally had strep throat for the past month. And with strep came the asthma that disappeared 10 years ago. Needless to say, I have not had a fun month. But I think I’m back for good now and hopefully I’ll have the energy to get in the kitchen and start baking again!
Onto the real reason we’re here…
This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe came from Michelle of Bake-en. Michelle chose Dorie’s Dimply Plum Cake which made my boys happy because they are both plum crazy!
This cake was so simple, so quick, and the only thing I had to go out and buy was plums. In my book that means the recipe is a keeper. I wish my plums had been a little riper but oh well, plums are plums.
The littlest man in my house loved this cake. He’s had it for breakfast everyday since I made it. I’m definitely making this cake again, but next time I’ll make my plums a little prettier.
For the recipe, visit Michelle!

Hey there stranger! So sorry to hear about your strep throat and allergies. Allergies are a major bummer. But glad you’re back in the kitchen and baking again! I agree. Definitely one of the perks of this recipe was the quickness and available ingredients.

Simple and quick is definitely nice. I’m glad you’re over strep, it just sounds like a nasty thing to have to deal with.

Glad to hear that you’re back!
And even better that the little one loved the cake best!! My kids ate it because I put chocolate in it! I suppose that defeats the purpose, right?
