Originating in the early 20th century, this simple yet elegant cake has become a staple in many households, especially during late summer and early fall when plums are at their peak. The recipe is cherished for its ease of preparation and the delightful contrast of the tender cake with fresh fruit. Today, variations exist, incorporating different fruits or spices, but the essence of the original remains beloved across generations.
