This breakfast cake is a favorite with Il Cedro guests and has become our signature morning breakfast cake. After answering repeated requests for the recipe, we decided to type up recipe cards and offer them to our guests. I published this recipe in my newsletter last month and am offering it up to you today for this month’s First of the Month recipe!
So, here you go!

perfect and light for the morning. yum.
We think so. We make a chocolate one sometimes, too. Not as light, but still as yummy!
Do you home deliver ?
Looks yummy.
Ha ha… thanks. I think if we used the Italian post you would all be in trouble with home deliveries!

It’s usually the shape that determines whether something is a plum cake or not. Look at it this way: Cake + loaf pan = plum cake, in Italy anyway!
LOL! Thanks for the lesson. I guess in THAT respect, ours isn’t authentic PLUM.
