Spoonful of Something

October 1, 2019 By Ambreen Wajid

Peach + Plum Bloom Cake

       Summer is officially ending- which means Fall is around the corner! Personally I’m not big on summer (especially since I don’t get summers off anymore #ughadultlife). On the other hand, I am obsessed with Fall- the cold weather, the big sweaters, the warm delicious desserts baking fresh and spreading aroma throughout the house. What’s not to love? Seriously, I’m stocking up on fall candles and taking all my blankets out of storage. Fall is real at my place. 

       It’s not just me, right? Summer is hot and sticky and usually I try to spend it indoors as often as I can. Well, that being said, summer is the time for delicious juicy fruits! So when I was grocery shopping the other week, I realized it was one of my last times to stock up on peaches and plums! Just cause I don’t love summer, doesn’t mean I can’t send it off with a big bang right? Well this cake definitely delivered. 

       The cake underneath is light, fluffy, and toasted. It has hints of cardamom and cinnamon, a welcoming to the upcoming fall. It’s a light addition but definitely flows through the cake (and the oven to the apartment). And, of course, the decoration on top! An easy arrangement of sliced plums and peaches, which lets the ingredients do the decorating for you. The recipe turned out perfect for an end-summer & beginning-fall dessert! Serve fresh out the oven with a cup of coffee or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, your friends will be fawning over it!
