We have a plum tree. I like plums, but they don’t “store on the tree” the way citrus fruits do, so how do I eat a tree full of plums? Make an easy plum cake. I picked up som Duncan Hines mixes for $1 each recently, so with my dollar mix, my free plums & the butter, I spent about $1.50 on this cake.

The plums have such a sour skin, but the flesh is sweet plus the sweetness of the cake mix led me to add no sugar to the fruit. You can add cinnamon, but I like tasting the plums as is.

To slice, I ran a knife around the plum’s indentation and then twisted the plum apart. Sliced the seedless half and then sliced around the seed.
