This is a very good cake. It's dense and moist. The fruit almost makes a sort of sauce. I love cooked raspberries, but with the plums, it was fabulous. The cake size was smaller than I had expected for my large family, but it was dense enough to make it through us all. I didn't use fresh raspberries, as they are impossible to find good ones anymore. I just threw some frozen ones on, and it worked out just fine. Also, I used a small springform pan instead of all the foil and stuff, but they just scooped it out anyways. Oh, I also added a touch of almond extract because I know it goes great with these fruits. DH gave it a huge thumbs up. I will make again. Made and reviewed for Bargain Basement tag. Thanks! :)
