“Plumble” is the name my husband gave this cake. A sour cream and almond coffee cake with a layer of moist plums in the middle and a cinnamon crumble topping. It is sooo good!plum-crumble-cake35

I’ve made it here in a 9 inch spring form pan which makes it easy to remove. I also like to make individual tea cakes using jumbo tulip cupcake wrappers (makes 12), either way, scrumptious!

  11. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar if desired.
