Bright sunny days
gleaming sunshine
on my face,
invigorating,
rejuvenating,
joy of summer
a season,so awaited
for all it brings,
folks elated
summer foods and fruits
in abundance,
cherries,berries and plums
Ah plums,
that’s what I need
to revel in,
a dessert indeed
a cake
a delight,
with juicy plums,
all in sight,
a bite is all you need,
to make you crave
this indulgent treat,
on a summer day so fine
in all its beauty,
so divine

Soni! This plum cake looks so delicious and it’s so pretty with the plums arranged so perfectly on top! I’m panicking a bit because it’s already almost August and I haven’t done ANY baking with all the amazing fruit in season. Pinning so that I can make this. I hope you and your family have had an awesome summer so far!
