Sweet & Sour Cake

This is My Plum Story

It has been a long time since I shared a little story from my life so today I want to tell you the sweet story behind this plum cake. 😄 I always love learning something new and meeting new people and recently I met a very good friend. Near the place where he lives, there is a big plum tree. One day he picked a few plums then the next day a few more and then even more. Finally, he realized that almost all the plums were gone from the tree and his fridge was completely full.

Since he did not want to waste them, he sweetly asked me “Hey, do you like plums? I have some, I can bring them for you tomorrow.” I said yes but I did not know he was so serious.

The next day he came with a big bag of plums and said, “If you like then I can bring more.” I laughed and asked “Why? Don’t you like plums?” He said “No, my fridge is full of plums” and we both started laughing. Later, he sent me a picture of the plum tree and I asked, “Is this really a plum tree? I cannot see any plums” His reply was just a big laughing emoji of course! because we picked almost all of them. 😄

So this is the little story behind this plum cake. These plums were picked with love and I made the cake with a little extra sugar and lots of love. The cake turned out soft, sweet, spongy and absolutely delicious. I hope you enjoy this little plum story and this easy-peasy plum cake recipe. Make it this fall season, share it with your family and friends and let me know in the comments how it turns out.
