Of Plums and Hydrangeas and Donna Hay~

It's hydrangea season here ..:) I love all kinds of hydrangeas..Plums also seem to be very plentiful~
My friend gave me a Donna Hay   Marie Claire cookbook and small individual plum cakes caught my fancy~

Perfect single serving sweet tooth craving fixes~

I have to admit..I added too much batter..I halved the recipe..and filled my two little bowls..But I should have added less.As in Donna Hay's photos 1/3 of the little plum stuck out so photogenically..Alas..Mine seem to be camera shy:)

Now I know..They are delicious..easy and prepared in no time!

If you have almonds..flour..sugar..  eggs..vanilla or almond extract(I was adventurous and used almond extract)..and plums..You are good to go~In a blink of an eye~

La Recette~

125 grams softened butter

125grams granulated sugar..(I used icing sugar:)

Preheat oven to 200C~

Place one  pittedplum in each small recipient and pour batter around it..
