Plum Snack Cake

June 19, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 14 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Next door we have a neighbor that is, my guess in her 80’s and she doesn’t speak any English.   Well, the other day I came home from work, and she started to yell at me, screaming hey, hey across the street.  Oh man, I was thinking, so I went over there and smiled.  She pointed her finger at me and said wait in a grunt tone.  Uh, oh….  So I waited on her door step, as she waddled away.  I was kind of nervous, hoping I didn’t do anything to make her mad or worse yet, my dogs!  Then she returned and handed me a HUGE basket of plums, and gave me a kiss on the cheek.  I smiled and said thank you and went home.  How sweet is that?  She really sounded like she was mad, but I guess it was her way of getting attention.  It’s so hard when you have no idea what someone is saying and you try so hard to understand and I am sure that is just as irritating to them.  But now I have a bazillion plums, that were going to go bad, and fast!!  My guess is she gave me about 35-40 plums.

Plum Snack Cake

I was thinking of recipes to come up with that didn’t take up to much time, since I have been short on time lately.  So I decided to whip up a batch of Plum Snack Cake.  I based this recipe,with a few modifications from my blueberry coffee cake and cherry coffee cake.  Since my Husband is a big plum lover, and honestly I’m not, I thought I would make the cake that he loves so much.

Plum Snack Cake


The Plum Snack Cake turned out fantastic!  They are light, fluffy and quite tangy from the plums.  Plus the plums, really made this cake kind of juicy, which makes for nice moisture in the cake.  I am really loving how fat  and fluffy they are!!  Mmm, mmmm, mmmm!  I kind of have a thing for fat, fluffy pieces and I don’t have to worry about my tummy getting all fat and fluffy because these are guilt-free!

Plum Snack Cake

I wanted to also let you know that the Snack Cake is not a very sweet compared to most cake, but it makes for a nice breakfast or afternoon snack bar.   However, I highly recommend having a taste of your plums prior to making this dish.  If your plums are more tart, then sweet, I would add a tad more sugar then what the recipe calls for.  I’m a tart and tangy kind of person and my Husband loves tart plums so I left the sugar amount as is.  But you may want to add maybe some more turbinado sugar on top? I used my NuNaturals Presweet Tagatose for sugar and whole wheat pastry flour for the bars.  I try to go healthy wherever I can.  The recipe makes for 12 nice size bars, that come in at only 113 calories.

Plum Snack Cake

Since I have made similar cakes before, I wanted to let you know that they freeze really well!  Just cut your bars into pieces and place in a freezer safe container with parchment between them.  However between you and I, I cut the bars and place in a freezer safe bag.  But I do like to tell you the proper way to freeze them.  🙂

Plum Snack Cake

Now time to think of other plum recipes!  I think I have like 15 plums left.  Hmmmm, what to do with extra plums?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  I am just not a plum person, so I kind of go blank thinking of recipes.

Well my Friends, have a wonderful day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    Yum! Plums are one of my favorite fruits to bake with, and I feel like they’re under-used! This looks AWESOME!

      I agree, I think they are an under use fruit too! I know I don’t think of them often.

    I love plums, but oddly I’ve never thought of making a plum cake. The top of this cake looks so gooey and delicious. I think the next cake I make will be plum cake.

    Looks so pretty! I love plumbs, alas the skin makes my throat itch, maybe cooked with out skin it would be okay. This recipe would work nicely with any fruit! I think I need to get me some of this tagatose you are always talking about!

      I would peel the skins off it you can. Funny I like the skins, they are my favorite part of the fruit! I’m sending you an e-mail.

      Love the idea of plum jam! That is what I will do, thank you Shannon!! By the way, I signed up months ago for your blog posts and I haven’t gotten any. I re-subscribed and it says I already receive them.

Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting longer and Spring will be here before we know it. #sponsored I can’t wait! Spring is my favorite season!
🌸
I’m sharing with you my new Yuri 4 piece patio set that I got from RST Brands. I love the clean lines and it’s made with certified eucalyptus wood. Plus it is so comfortable to sit on.
🌸
The beautiful light blue cushions are covered in a durable olefin fabric that is weather resistant. Plus the cushions have zippers, so you can wash the cushion covers. That’s a big plus, considering Sampson loves to sit on furniture.
🌸
I can’t wait to decorate my Yuri 4 piece seating set with throws, pillows and of course plants. When the weather warms up, I’ll take you along with me when I decorate.
🌸
Are you looking forward to Spring?

Happy Monday! As usual the weekend flew by, but I’m happy that I got some things done. I’m really trying to do some purge and organize. Slowly moving at it, one day at a time.
💕
I’m sharing with you my Valentines Day tiered tray. If you notice, I finally got a new tiered tray.  Woohoo, the tiered tray is from @paperadpallet. I’m so happy to ditch my old white one. It was so crooked that I had to put a towel under to make it straight. I now finally have a straight tiered tray.
💕
I’ve been good and I still haven’t gone shopping, but after putting this tray together, I realize I don’t own any wooden hearts. I really would like some white and pink ones. I could do a diy, I don’t think that’s considered buying home decor?
💕
How was your weekend?

Hello Thursday! Hope your week is going well. So f Hello Thursday! Hope your week is going well. So far so good over here. I’ve been doing well not shopping. I had to have Target deliver groceries yesterday because I was afraid to go in that store. I have no control. 23 more days to go for my 30 day no buying home decor challenge.
🌿
I’m slowly working on refreshing my home after Christmas. I worked on this vignette in my living room. It’s really hard shopping my home. I grabbed stuff in just about every room to make this vignette.
🌿
I’m sticking with the whites and greens and added the blue vase to go with my pillow in the background. I added another faux fern, I didn’t realize how many I have floating around.
🌿
The pot the fern is in was a pot that my spider plant was in that I got from Trader Joe’s. I told you I really shopped around my home. But it’s kind of fun using things I already have.
🌿
Do you like shopping your own home?

Hello Wednesday! Half way through the first week b Hello Wednesday! Half way through the first week back, we can do it. I need to pump myself up. 😂 All in all it’s not to bad of a work week.
🌿
Last week I worked on changing my console table around. I wanted to keep it light and simple and of course add my greenery.
🌿
I just love adding pops of greenery, real or faux everywhere. Plants truly make me happy. The faux fern you see here is from Target. It’s part of the Studio McGee collection. I can’t get over how real it looks.
🌿
For ferns, I always have to get faux. I don’t have very good luck with real ones. It’s just to dry here. I have to water them everyday and if you miss a day, they die. So faux it will be.
🌿
What’s your favorite plant?

Hello and happy Tuesday! Not too much going on ove Hello and happy Tuesday! Not too much going on over here. Just trying to get back into the swing of things. I was so tired after work yesterday.
🌸
I’m slowly decorating my home for this season, though winter is hard for me. After Christmas, I love pastels and flowers. I think the winter season is a little more difficult to decorate because we don’t get snow. It’s hard to have flocked trees and sunshine.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my centerpiece on my dining room table. I just love it so much!  It’s kind of cozy and warm. Plus it has flowers! I’m still working on decorating the rest of the dining room. I hope to complete it by the weekend so I can share it with you.
🌸
How’s the weather where you live?

Monday again? Ugh! Back to work today. I have enjo Monday again? Ugh! Back to work today. I have enjoyed my two weeks off and boy it is going to be hard getting back in the swing of things. At least I can roll out of my bed and go straight to my computer.
💕
Notice something different in my bedroom? I have a new sign above my bed. It took two years and a lot of begging to get my husband to hang something above my bed. It did cost me a trip to Olive Garden. lol
💕
My new farmhouse sign is from @krumpetshomedecor. I love just it, and thought it was perfect for the bedroom. I find the words so beautiful. Swipe to see a close up.
💕
The sign is slightly white wash and the word “love” is raised lettering. Plus the sign is two sided. I’ll show you the other side in stories today.
💕
Today Krumpets Home Decor is launching there new Valentines decor and let me tell you it is gorgeous!! I saw some fun pieces for a tiered tray and more signs. So much to choose from.

Happy Sunday! Not to much going on here. I finally Happy Sunday! Not to much going on here. I finally packed up my Christmas and slowly redecorating my house for winter/spring.
🌿
For some reason, when Christmas is over I feel the need to start to decorate for Spring. I just love the light, bright feeling.
🌿
My first post of the New Year has to be flowers. I’m sharing this pretty bouquet that I bought from Trader Joe’s.
🌿
Trader Joe’s has tulips already, which means peonies will be soon to follow. I can’t wait for flower season to come full bloom.
🌿
Are you going to be decorating for Valentine’s Day?

Happy New Years Eve! I can’t believe it’s the Happy New Years Eve! I can’t believe it’s the last day of the year and what a year it’s been. Though I’ve had some wonderful blessings this year.
🥂
I’m sharing with you my top 9 photos of 2020. Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments, likes and saves. I’ve had so much fun on IG this year. I’ve made so many new friends, I’ve been inspired by you and I feel like I have grown so much just by being here with you.
🥂
You don’t even know how much I appreciate each and everyone of you. You are truly inspiring.  I am looking so forward to seeing what is in store in 2021.
🥂
If you followed my stories yesterday, I am doing a 30 day challenge starting on January 1st. The challenge is not being able to buy any home decor. So if you are joining me, shop today. It’s the last day to shop.
🥂
I plan on shopping my home, and being creative with what I have. When lockdown started, I saved so much money, not being able to leave my home. I was so proud of myself. Plus, I can save some money for spring and Easter decor.
🥂
Let me know if you are joining me? I need a support system. Target did me in this week, and I must stay away.  Once I get the shopping bug, I can’t stop.
🥂
I’m taking the next couple of days off from IG to get my house organized. I will be on stories to show my progress. Happy New Years! Cheers to a wonderful 2021.
