Quick Plum Cake
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. This pie is especially popular during plum season. It's very fast to make and doesn't require any special culinary skills. It's best to use several varieties of plums—both sour and sweet—for a wonderful flavor combination. You could add some cherry plums to enhance the tartness. Serve with tea or coffee.
