Provided by Doreen Fish

Categories     Other Breakfast

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 c unbleached all-purpose flour (this is for the struesel)
1/4 c packed dark brown sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1 pinch ground cardamom
3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted; more as needed
FOR THE CAKE
8 Tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces; more softened for the pan
1 1/2 c unbleached all-purpose flour; more for the pan
2 large eggs
1/2 c granulated sugar
1/4 c packed dark or light brown sugar
1/4 c whole milk
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
3 firm-ripe medium plums, each pitted and quartered

Steps:

  • 1. # Make the streusel: # Put the flour, sugar, kosher salt, and cardamom in a small mixing bowl and stir the ingredients with a fork until thoroughly combined. Drizzle the melted butter over the mixture and stir with the fork until the mixture resembles a clumpy dough. Using your fingers, break the mixture into pistachio-size clumps and large crumbs. (If the streusel is sandy and won't clump, add a little more melted butter, 1 tsp. at a time.) Refrigerate the streusel while you prepare the cake batter.
  • 2. Make the cake: Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 375°F. Lightly butter and flour an 8x8x2-inch straight-sided cake pan. Beat the eggs lightly in a small mixing bowl. Whisk in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla until well blended. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, table salt, and cardamom until well blended. Add the butter pieces to the bowl and cut them into the flour with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles a very coarse meal strewn with pieces of butter the size of small peas and oat flakes. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture. With a wooden spoon, fold and stir the ingredients together until it's a thick batter speckled with visible lumps of butter, 45 seconds to 1 minute. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Break up the streusel mixture with your fingers and sprinkle half of it evenly over the batter. Arrange the plum quarters skin side down on the batter, with each piece at a 45-degree angle to the sides of the pan. Sprinkle the remaining streusel evenly over the cake. Bake the cake for 20 minutes and then rotate the pan. Continue baking until the top of the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it, 15 to 20 minutes more. Cool the cake in its pan on a rack for at least an hour before cutting. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SUGAR PLUM CAKE

A tasty dessert for the holidays or just anytime. Received recipe from a friend and posting for safe-keeping. Hint: Thoroughly mix just the flour and plums together until well-coated, then add remaining cake ingredients. This will keep the plums from all becoming settled at the bottom of the cake.

Categories     dessert

Time 3h55m

Yield 12 cake pops

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons butter
2 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
3 cups puffed rice cereal
1 teaspoon lemon zest
8 ounces white chocolate pieces or white coating chocolate
1/4 cup colored decorating sugar or sprinkles
Special equipment: 1 dozen 5-inch lollipop sticks

Steps:

  • In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows, stirring to coat with the butter. Continue to stir and cook until the marshmallows have completely melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the rice cereal and lemon zest. Mix until the cereal is completely coated.
  • Using a scant 1/4 cup measure, roll the rice and marshmallow mixture into golf ball-size balls. Be sure to compress the cereal mixture tightly. Skewer a lollipop stick through the center of the ball. Repeat with remaining mixture and sticks.
  • Melt the chocolate over a double boiler. Dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate. Remove and allow any excess to drip off, spinning slightly, to coat completely. Stick the pops into a piece of floral foam or a bowl full of rice to stand upright so that the chocolate can set up slightly. Let sit 5 minutes. Dip the top half of each pop into the sprinkles. Place the sticks back in the foam or rice and place in the refrigerator to set up completely, or allow to set for several hours at room temperature.
