“i cannot understand why this is so good. i made a similar very simple cake recipe with figs yesterday, after having made this for a dinner party two days prior, and thought, why do i ever make any simple fruit cake recipe but this one? it is SOOOOO GOOD. sorry torte* whatever”

“A delightfully mini-sized spin on Marion Burros’ G.O.A.T plum torte recipe. Mix batter according to original recipe, spoon into a 12 cup muffin tin, push a plum half into each cup, and cook for 30ish minutes. Custardy on the inside, chewy and sugar-cookie-ish at the edges.”

“The only cake recipe I have memorized. Modified from the original plum torte recipe from Marian Burros. Don’t skip the acid!”
