Notes

  • *Depending on how sweet your plums are and how sweet you like your cake, the sugar can be cut down to ¾ cup.
  • **You will use more or less plums depending on the variety and size, but also depending on your preference. I tend to use more plums for a fruitier cake, but you can always opt to use less for a cakier-cake. You can't go wrong either way, trust me.
