Triple Plum Pie
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. For this cake, you'll need juicy but not overripe plums. Place them on the dough with the cut side down. It's best to bake the cake on the lower rack of the oven so the top doesn't burn. Once cooled, cut the cake into portions and serve. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
