    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 3 stars       07/28/2019   I will try this recipe because of the positive reviews, but a 4 serving dessert hardly qualifies as a potluck dish.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/20/2017   One of the best premier desserts to appear anywhere because it's sooo versatile & with minor preparation can be changed to suit personal tastes or available local fruits. Super impressive with fresh pitted cherries, to die for. Sprinkle top with Coconut Sugar for a great variation.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/16/2012   I love this cake! I made 20 of these with various fruit for my sister's wedding. I have made it many many times since then and it turns out beautifully each time. Plums are still my favourite but apricots are wonderful! Such an easy easy recipe.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/13/2012   This is a year round FAVORITE! Works not only with plums, but peaches, nectarines, or even frozen mixed berries. Very easy to whip up for a quick warm dessert anytime. And if you have any leftover, it's great with a steamy cup of coffee in the morning.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/15/2011   My daughter made this for me, its delicious!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/03/2011   This is one of my absolute favorite easy Summer recipes, I make it all the time! Usually I add a dash of vanilla extract and sprinkle a little less sugar on the top and it is delicious :)  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/21/2010   I made this cake for company while visiting Italy this past summer. It was a hit! (Especially with those italian plums.) The cake batter is the winner here - moist and simple. For a variation, I used the batter to make jam-filled cupcakes with a simple mascarpone frosting. I look forward to trying other variations since this is such an easy "Go-to" recipe.
