If you want to prepare a simple cake with excellent presentation, we suggest this delicious caramelized plum cake. It's an excellent choice if you going to receive friends at home!
We like to add a little cinnamon to this cake, we think the cinnamon aroma matches perfectly with the caramelized plum, besides that, gives a slight color to the cake. Regarding the plum, we like to caramelize the plum with the peel, in our opinion the cake stays more flavorful and with a more pleasant look. Bon appetit!!!
