Plum Cakes

As soon as plums came into season I knew I wanted to try a new recipe; Plum Cakes. It sounded SO delicious. And I love plums so I knew I couldn't lose. The cake batter was a little complicated but it was an easy task for my KitchenAid mixer. I put the batter in little souffle cups and pressed half of a pitted plum into each one and put it in the oven. I had my doubts over how much the little cakes would rise but they did just fine. I decided to make some homemade whip cream to go with them (the easiest recipe ever. Take 1 cup heavy whipping cream and about 1/2 cup powdered sugar and beat with an electric beater until stiff peaks form). After tasting these cakes, both my husband and I said they didn't even need the plum. It was good but I didn't think they were worth the effort. I give them three stars.
