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 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!

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
