We have bag of plums, which were available unusually late in the season at our local farmer’s market last week. While we enjoyed many of them straight out of the bag (see HERE), I decided to make something special with the rest.

I came across this recipe for a Spiced Plum Cake at Gutsy By Nature months ago, and haven’t yet taken the time to make it. This seemed like the perfect occasion.

I modified her recipe slightly (when do I not), and it turned out wonderfully. Here’s how I made it:
