I didn&#8217;t have dark brown sugar, just light. Also, whole milk is just not something that we have kicking around in the fridge under normal circumstances, so I used 2 percent. Since Alex has shown a particular liking for the green, &#8220;golden glow&#8221; plums, that is what I bought for this cake. Oh, one more thing, since I *gasp* didn&#8217;t have any vanilla. (Yeah, I know even people who don&#8217;t cook or bake have vanilla). I had to choose between lemon extract and almond extract. I went with the almond.<\/p>\n<p>Success!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As soon as a happened upon this cake, (thank you Bloglines for delivering the blogs I like to read in such an easy way), I knew that I wanted to make it.
