I have made this Rum Cake several times & it is always a hit…Murray really likes rum..so I raid the liquor cabinet & make this with whatever rum I find…usually it is a really nice sweet ‘sipping’ rum, but any rum will do.
Olive Oil Lemon Cake
Simple, lemony & delicious.This cake is different from other cakes…it is very thin… not a big double layer or even a regular single layer cake. The finished cake is about 1 inch high. I thought maybe I had done something wrong with it, but it is tender & moist, so I assume this is how this cake is meant to be!
No Bake Chocolate Corn Flake Cookies
Could there be a simpler cookie? Maybe, but this recipe is one of them! I love them!
I wanted  something chocolate that was non-dairy for dessert to go along side the coffee cake I was serving & didn’t really have time to bake, so remembered this recipe & it was perfect! Also, it is difficult to find non-dairy chocolates where I live so had to make some!
Apple Cake…Smitten Kitchens Apple Sharlotka
When you want an apple pie & your favourite bakery is closed…or you don’t have the time or energy to make a pie at home..this apple cake/dessert…is perfect! It is just a pile of cut apples put into a springform pan, then an easy batter poured over-top of the apples, baked, turned over and voila! Not as sugary as an apple pie, so you have to like the flavour of apples …which we do! It is a very cool recipe…the batter settles into the apples & combines to turn this into a very interesting dish.

Prune Plum Cake ,,,Fall is the time for Prune Plums. These are my favourite plums actually so even though seeing them means the end of summer, I am always happy when they are on the store shelves.
Smitten Kitchen posted this recipe, Purple Plum Torte, The recipe that Smitten Kitchen posted was made with butter, but I wanted it to be parve, non-dairy, so I substituted the butter with oil. I loved the texture of the cake using the oil, so I am going to make it this way always!
The cake has plums on top of the batter & they sink into the cake as it bakes. This cake is made in a spring form pan but if you do not have one use an equivalent size baking pan & make sure you grease it well so that the cake will come out easily when cut.
Here is the recipe thanks to Smitten Kitchen for posting it…I changed 1 thing only so I have the recipe here with the changes I made
Ingredients
For the cake
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1 cup sugar
6 tbsp oil
2 large eggs
For the topping
12 purple plums
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp sugar
Method
Preheat oven to 350f
Grease a 9 inch springform pan within-stick spray
You can easily mix this cake by hand, using oil instead of butter makes this easy!
- Whisk the flour, baking powder & salt together in a bowl
- In a different bowl, whisk sugar & oil together
- Add the eggs to the sugar/oil mixture & mix well until smooth & well combined
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones & using a spoon, mix well
- Cut the plums in half & remove the pit
- Put the cut plums cut side down on top of the batter…cover the top
- Sprinkle the lemon juice over the plums
- Mix the siccamon & the sugar together & sprinkle over the plums
- Bake the cake in the preheated oven for for approximatley 45 minutes..
- Cool the cake in the springform pan on a rack, if you have made this in a cake pan, you can let it cool for about 15 minutes the remove & finish cooling on the cooling rack.
- Remove the ring of the sjpringform pan to serve…
- When the cake was cool I dusted the top of the cake with some icing sugar…
Enjoy!
