Yeast cake with plums
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. A yeasted plum cake goes well with cold compote in the summer heat. Choose the cake pan yourself. You can also decorate it to your taste. But in this case, braids are simple and beautiful. When the cake cools, place it in a pot and cover with a lid. This will keep it fresh for several days.
