Plums must be one of the most satisfying fruits to bake with.

The juicy fresh plums transform into a layer of intensely colored and flavored, sticky, luscious goodness.

In this great recipe from Bakingdom, the Italian plums are first sauteed in butter, jam and brown sugar which creates a gorgeous sticky sweet topping when baked.

Underneath this plum extravaganza, is a simple vanilla cake, which allows the fruit to take center stage.

Top with ice-cream, cream and/or custard and you’re well on your way to dessert heaven.
