Great to hear, Christine! I absolutely love plum season, and getting to make this cake makes it even better 🙂

Wonderful to hear this, Harry. I wish I had a plum tree of my own, I absolutely adore everything plum. Hope you’ll enjoy the rest of the recipes just as much. And please, have a fresh plum for me!

I decided on the Plum Moelleux Cake and have to say it did not disappoint. I’ve already lined up some more recipes to make and I can’t wait to try them.

Hello, Lauren! Great question, and would totally depend on the size of your peaches. I would go with 3 most likely, since peaches almost always tend to be larger than plums. Also, try to use peaches that have a bit of softness to them, so they bake slightly jammy. Not super soft, but some give when pinched.

Hope it works out well!

I was hoping to use white peaches in this- thought I’d add some lemon juice, but I wondered how many ( good sized) peaches to add. Thank you for your recipes / they are wonderful .

Hello, Kim. Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback on this recipe. So glad you enjoyed this cake.

As I’m sure you know, fruits always come in different sizes… So if you found that 4 plums wasnt enough, there is absolutely no issue with upping it to 5. In the end, food should be how you like it to be. I personally use 4 to 5 ripe plums (not very firm) and sliced thinly (at least 8 slices/plum) so they’re more dispersed through the cake. Finding plums that aren’t firm, but not soft either is the key!

Hope this helps!

What I would like is more fruit in the resulting cake, mine was much more sparsely fruited than the photo and a bit dry. I approximated 1 cup of sliced plums for the 4 plums indicated. For me it was not enough fruit, do you have an approximate measure for what the 4 plums is? I really appreciate that you have spent time in Canada, I’m in BC, and reference the stores I know for finding products, and that the measures are in cups, etc like here. I have other recipes from relatives in France and they are a bit trickier to navigate, eg ‘cuilleres a soupe’

So kind of you, Liz! Honestly, not many better ways to make use of ripe stonefruit… I could go for a slice right now!

I made it again today with a mixture of stone fruit which were going over in my fruit bowl.
