I found this on-line and thought about trying it. The source says NY Times, but you never know with recipes and the internet! Here goes:
- c. Italian (prune) plums, halved (Use these plums only.)
- 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon (I often use a little more)
- 1/4 c. sugar
- 1 1/4 c. sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 c. vegetable oil
- 1/2 c. orange juice (preferably fresh)
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 3 c. unsifted flour
- 3 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Butter (or whatever) a bundt pan.
Sprinkle plums with cinnamon & 1/4 c. sugar.
Beat eggs, add sugar, then oil, then OJ and vanilla. Sift dry ingredients together. Combine egg mixture and dry ingredients.
Put 1/3 of the batter in a pan, then 1/3 plums; repeat layers of batter and plums, ending with plums.
Bake for 80 minutes (until golden), let sit for 20 minutes before unmolding.
Dust with confectioner's sugar and enjoy. |
