You know this is one of my all-time favorite recipes - every single year, I look forward to making this cake with the first fresh Italian plums that hit the market! And even better that you adjusted the recipe to suit the dietary needs of your brother - absolutely fabulous! If you get a chance and if you have taken a picture, do send it to me or post it on my facebook page, I would be thrilled to see your torte!

Last time I used only 1/3 of the sugar because I wanted my diabetic brother in law to enjoy it as well as we all do. He loved it and you could taste very well the little acid bite of the plums. For the sweet tooth I also offered the whipped cream.<br />Thank you very much for the recipe, which is one of my favourites now.<br />best regards<br />martinamartinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10674674141755457620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171858975021092818.post-35368308633670985702012-09-25T03:21:31.141+02:002012-09-25T03:21:31.141+02:00Andrea, I’ve been so busy lately (out of town for ...Andrea, I’ve been so busy lately (out of town for 3 weekends in a row) that I haven’t been able to comment on many your posts…your cake is heavenly…and I love the leaves!

Yes, the younger ones had fun with those leaves but, alas, the little chinaware plates were too small for the leaves - napkins did a fabulous stand-in job. And as far as baking and cooking iss concerned, am I allowed to mention that I am one of those true "autodidact" people"...it just happened...Andrea_TheKitchenLionesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188562947486964076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171858975021092818.post-90125661143191721532012-09-15T05:24:38.004+02:002012-09-15T05:24:38.004+02:00This cake looks moist and dense, Andrea, and I kno...This cake looks moist and dense, Andrea, and I know my friends and family would enjoy this. You have more patience than I, my dear, to make those darling tiny leaves. I suspect your little girls had a wonderful tea party with them. What a talented Mommy they have.
