Plum Pie

This cake is more similar to a pie than other cakes I've made before. The cookbook labeled it a "Mittwochskuchen" (Wednesday Cake) because it's so easy and quick to make. We had 3 pounds of plums that needed to be eaten, so what better way is there than to turn them into pie filling?

While not pretty to look at on the plate, the result is deliciously plum'y.
