Dimply. I think of
Christopher and his wonderful smile. What a handsome boy I have. That is what I think of when I think of dimply. But Dorie gave me another thing to think of when I hear that word. Dimply Plum Cake.
Michelle of
Bake-en selected,
Dimply Plum Cake on page 41of Dorie's Baking cookbook. This is a beautiful cake. I think it was the most photogenic of all recipes I have made since joining TWD. I thought it tasted just fine, but I probably won't be making it again unless it is for my parents (who took the cake home with them). Chris and Grumpy just are not fruit in your cake kind of people and I could not eat the whole thing by myself. My dad however, was tickled pink to get this cake as his statement was "I love plums!" Funny, I never knew that about my dad!
I did sprinkle some Wilton white sparkling sugar on top for looks
I think instead of any more words, I will leave you with the a few more photos I took of this cake. Let the pictures do the talking! Don't forget to check out the
TWD blogroll to see other creations of this cake!
Look at those dimples!

Look at those dimples!
Your cake looks really wonderful! I sprinkled sugar on top too - it ended up being my favorite part.
ReplyDeletesure looks good! i bet your dad would love it if you made it again!!
ReplyDeleteI love your cake, it looks very dimply! My cake 'grew' over the plums while baking, so most of were hidden....
ReplyDeletedelicious - doesn't the sprinkled sugar look really effective too!
ReplyDeleteall the photos are great...but that 2nd one, looks like juicy fruit tucked into a big cozy bed. it made me smile.
ReplyDeleteMy, those are some deep dimples you have in that cake! It's so puffy and beautiful, and you have lots of jammy plums - yummy!

I never would have thought of putting plums in a cake. Looks tasty!
ReplyDeleteThat is one pretty cake, and I love your sweet associations for the word dimply. Love your new mellow cream pumpkin header.
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! I should have used sugar on the top.
ReplyDeleteI sprinkled the crystal sugar on top too. Your looks so pretty and sparkly! Your cake is lovely!
ReplyDeleteOf course I didn't think of sprinkling with sugar! I liked it better the day after baking it. Your cake looks great!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cake and dimples! :)
ReplyDeleteYour plums look perfect all lined up and ready to bake! I love the sugar on top, too. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteWow, your cake even looked great before you baked it!! And your baked cake is a vision! I love your idea of adding sugar to the top -- not only does that look pretty, but I bet it would add a nice bit of extra sweetness, which would have been welcome in my cake, anyway, as the plums had a slightly bitter taste when baked. How fun that your dad got to enjoy the finished product!
ReplyDeleteWow. This looks absolutely amazing! I love the addition of sugar on top. The photos turned out beautiful.
ReplyDeleteDo you want to come to my house...I'll make dinner and you make dessert?
Lovely pictures. I particularly like the second one, of the batter before you baked it. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteCAke looks nice and fluffy. Great job. Great pics.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Your cake looks delish, glad Papa Bear loved it so.
ReplyDeleteOMG it's beautiful...seriously. Your pics are great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous cake. I'm glad your parents were there to appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteYour cake looks fantastic! I wasn't sure at first what Dorie meant by "dimply", but after reading about yours, I understand! Wish I'd thought of the sugar, so smart!
ReplyDeleteYour cake looks so good! I've been looking at this recipe in Dorie's book for ages. Seeing it on so many blog encourages me to make it soon:)
ReplyDeleteooohhh I love the raw sugar on top! What a purdy addition! Great job!
ReplyDeleteClara @ iheartfood4thought
Wow, your pictures turned out gorgeous! Great job!
ReplyDeleteYour plums look so different to the ones here in Australia! Ours are a really dark purple and the flesh isnt like a peach- its quite watery and grainy. Maybe it's a different variety or something? Your cake looks so nice and moist!
ReplyDeleteWow Shelby! Talk about perfection over here! Really nice job!
ReplyDeleteYour cake looks awesome! Makes me want a bite!
ReplyDeleteOMW, this looks so good...and you sent it out of the house??? Well, at least it went to a deserving soul who loves plums! Great job.
ReplyDeleteVery yummy! The sprinkled sugar topping is brilliant!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful and it is always nice when there is someone who would really love it if you made it again! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour dimply plum cake looks delicious! That is so cute that you learned something new about your Dad =).
ReplyDeleteMine flopped but my plums were "way" to big. Maybe next time.
Looks great!!!
ReplyDeleteHi, I really like this blog! Didn't find your email-adress. May you please contact me at lillie.erhardt@prontocommunication.se ? Regards, Lillie.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful cake, and I'm glad your dad loves plums. Great idea to use the sugar - it makes everything so sparkly!
ReplyDeleteFabulous pictures that are speaking LOUD and CLEAR!! Great job. I was really surprised by how much we enjoyed this one.
ReplyDeleteWow, yours turned out perfect! I love the two-toned plums in the baked cake.
ReplyDeleteWell, now you know what to bake for dad when he comes, lol.
That looks delicious...your plums look great haha. I like that since you put your plums close together, the cake inbetween them looks like diamonds.
ReplyDeleteyour cake looks soo tasty! i like the decorative sugar you used on top :)
