"This tea cake is not an overly sweet cake, and it will depend on the plums as to how sweet it will be. Although I have found that people who like things sweet and sour really do enjoy this cake. You can substitute any other stone fruit for the plums although do not vary the cake ingredients as the fruit needs to sink to just the right level in the cake ~ too thick the fruit will not sink a little and sit too high on the cake .... and too thin the fruit will sink to the bottom of the cake. NOTE: A spring form pan is suggested in the recipe, but I use a loaf pan. Also I follow the cup and spoon measurements (in brackets) not the weight in grams that was needed to post the recipe."
