Directions
Polish Fresh Plum Cake–Placek Z Sliwkami, There’s a thimble-sized Farmer’s Market in our neighborhood and one August visit, I bought a fresh plum cake I thought nothing of it except Well, now I have dessert for tonight Little did I know what an adventure it would turn into! The wrapping from the bakery was tossed and unobtainable after my family went insane for this cake! Beyond moist, a perfect blend of tart and sweet, I spent days trying to locate a similar recipe with no luck; every plum cake that I found had either plum baby food or some crumb or streusal topping I finally located the bakery through the Farmer’s Market and found out the name of the cake It’s a Polish delicacy and MUST be made with fresh plums, in season fruit , Similar to my Polish mom’s placek Next time I’d leave out the cloves used 5 plums cut into thick slices instead of halved plums 40 plums seems excessive , Used thick slices of plums instead of cutting plums in half
