Purple Plum Torte

so good I didn't even get a shot of the entire thing.

I first made this in 2013 for a housewarming party for my sister (at her apartment because my oven was broken!). This is the second time I've made it and as soon as I tasted it I wondered why I'd waited so long to make it again. Pumpkin spice who? Cinnamon and plums are where it's at for fall. I made it exactly as written. This particular batch had fewer plums in it than the recipe called for because I was distracted and didn't buy enough, but I think it's better with the full amount, for sure.

Verdict: Tastes way better than you'd think it might for how easy it is to make. If you can find prune plums, absolutely give it a try. The combination of cinnamon and plums together is magical. It might be my German roots talking but it's the truth.
