The recipe did not take long to put together. I ended up only using two plums because the pans were so small. They took about 30 minutes to bake completely. I have to be honest and say this was not my favorite recipe. It was just kind of 'meh'. I'm thinking maybe if I had used peaches or apricots and added the cardamon it would have been better. The texture was nice but the cakes were a little dry. I also wonder if my plums weren't ripe enough, they were somewhat firm.
But I did appreciate the chance to make something I might not normally make and try out new recipes. Next week we're making creme brulee, which is a little intimidating but I think I'm up for the challenge.

i had the same experience - plums stayed too firm, and the cake was kind of dry (or else it was undercooked, both were going on in my cake!). and 'meh' for me too. good thing it was quick!
Oh my but they're pretty, even if they were firm to taste.
I love the mini cakes. I made a 4" one too. Yeah, not my favorite recipe, but it was fun to make!
The cakes were a little dry, but at least you got that nicely browned top!
You ended up with quite a pretty cake, even if it wasn't your favorite!
My cake tasted so much better the next day. Next time I will definitely add cardamom I left it out. Your mini cakes look adorable!
These pics are making me hungry! Even if the plums were firm, it looks scrumptious.
Cute minis! I had the same problems with the cake being too dry.
