I also am wandering down to the hen house through the damp and misty orchard, but it's spring damp here, not autumn and my dear hens are just about past their best laying days so it is often an empty trip back to the house.
I have a most prolific plum tree that hangs over the hen house door and will be tucking this recipe somewhere safe so I can bring it out in a few months time when my plums are ripe. Thanks.
Karen, I would certainly opt for 12 hefty pieces, and eat 6 myself! It looks tempting, so if I can find some good plums I'll bake this lovely recipe next week.
I am just imagining a piece of this and my morning coffee 🙂
Bee happy x
Have a delicious day!
Plums and almost is a match made in heaven! I love to sprinkle with flaked almonds this creates a nice crunchy top!
I love this post. My husband always laughs at my choice of attire for letting the chickens out. I think it reassures him that no-one will be racing to pinch me from him any time soon. That tray bake looks absolutely delicious.
well you've done it again – I'm going to have to stop what I've planned for today and bake this -p it's just too perfect not too. Loved your writing today :))

siiiiiiigh
I am in need of new superlatives to describe your creations Karen. Yum always seems entirely inadequate and yet is exactly the word one wants. Yum!
Plums are a wonderful fruit and certainly Autumnal.
Ah, you paint a wonderful picture Amanda, Spring or Autumn, that early morning trip to the hen house is always eventful, or in the case of no eggs, potentially hopeful!
Thanks Jude, hoorah for another hefty slice lover!
Thanks Bee ~ you would bee happy with a slice of this!
Thanks Sneige, it is a nice contrast with the crunchy almonds.
Thanks Kath ~ you and me both, I had a short t-shirt nightie, an over coat and fabric slippers……a wondrous sight!
Thanks Mary ~ I sometimes have more time to compose, today was that day!
Victoria ~ thanks! X
Annie ~ thanks,''twas a grand bake!
Kentish Keg-Meg, thanks, they are Autumn in an orb!
Oh that looks utterly delicious Karen – and what a beautifully written post, I could almost feel myself stumbling on the way to the hen house with you!!
I wish I had fruit trees in my garden! It almost seems a shame to cook with plums this beautiful, but then the cake looks so wonderful I can see why you did 🙂
Oh my you are obviously in lyrical mood today Karen! Lovely writing and great photographs. Love those pudding cakes that do a double job, nice baking.
Looks soo good..I agree great shots.. real..and crisp and clean:)
Oh, this sounds so good! Plum is so nice and tart in a cake too. This would be delicious with tea or milk or…anything! Hope all is well with you my friend!~
I'm a hefty girl myself Karen. No small pieces of anything around here! As usual the cake looks fabulous! xxoo
I could do with a slice right now, looks great! And perfect ingredients for the Autumn..x
This looks amazing. I made similar flavours for Kate's autumnal challenge too. I like to think that great minds think alike 🙂
I’d like to make the almond and plum tray bake. Looks lovely.
