This Plum Upside Down Cake has got to be one of my favorite late summer cakes. It’s really your humble, old, everyday upside-down cake – but it’s rather spectacular. I think you’ll love this easy cake as much as we do, whether you serve it from the pan or go all out.
Plum Upside Down Cake – its gorgeous and simple.
I think I might have a perfect end of summer meal for you: Grilled Pork Chops with Plum Compote along with Grilled Plums on the side.
Pork Chops with Plum Compote & Grilled Plums
This is just a fun little whisper of a dessert, barely sweet and absolutely scrumptious. I don’t know why it took my so long to grill plums and serve them for dessert. I just didn’t “get” it. Now I do. Brushed lightly with honey and seared over high heat for just a minute totally intensified the flavor.

I could hardly believe my eyes as I turned the pages of this month’s Bon Appetit…and saw this recipe in the R.S.V.P. section. A dessert from the famed Babbo in NYC. Now, I don’t know about you, but I may never have a chance to eat at Babbo, but this? This dessert is easy to pull off.

Apple Crisp is as American as Apple Pie (which really might not be all that American – it’s likely to have been brought over by the English), but fruit crisps are so good with so many fruits or combinations. I’ve been making this simple Any Fruit Crisp with Streusel Topping for ages, so I can testify to how good it is!
Any Fruit Crisp – this is apple (with a drizzle of caramel before topping)
