[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My favorite thing to bake is the plum torte from NYT. I’ve heard it is their most requested recipe of all time.

It is incredibly good. And it is as easy as it gets. The only things I’d mention is that it really is best to use an springform pan (although if you don’t have one a regular cake pan can work), and do remember to sift the flour. Oh, and don’t feel like you did something wrong when the batter is thick like cookie dough and only makes a thin layer in the pan. Plums are perfect but you can use any fruit you want—I used frozen blueberries recently.

For guests I’d serve with vanilla ice cream.[/quote]

I make this recipe also. Agree it’s wonderful.[/quote]

The Burros plum torte is delicious but it’s not impressive - it’s a single layer quick bake that has a rustic appearance.[/quote]

OP is not an experienced baker, and this is easy to make. It is going to taste 1000x better than any cake from Whole Foods or Wegmans. It’s delicious. That’s a lot more impressive than having picked something up at the store, which people on here keeps suggesting (along with Pavlova, which makes no sense given that it’s February).  In fact, I can’t stand it when my sister-in-law shows up to my house for dinner with a grocery store cake that she insists we serve for dessert. I find it kind of insulting.

OP You can’t go wrong with this plum tort. Yes, it is rustic looking. But it’s more delicious than just about anything else you can make. That is impressive. Wow, to anyone with taste buds anyway.[/quote]
