I remember my mother making plum kuchen. She never followed a recipe, but this recipe tastes like hers.
SERVINGS: 6
CATEGORY: Dessert
METHOD: Baked
TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 20 min. + cooling
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup milk

- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1-1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 6 medium plums, pitted and halved

Directions:
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs, milk and butter. Combine the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, salt and nutmeg; add to the egg mixture and beat just until combined.
