Plum Cake is one of my absolute favorite desserts. Not only is it delicious, it's easy to make and looks quite lovely without much work. For this recipe, I combined Yogurt Cake, one of Max's favorites, with my Plum Cake to make a nice little Easter dessert.

3. Line the bottom of the pan with the plum wedges.
4. In a mixing bowl combine yogurt, olive oil, sugar, eggs and vanilla.
5. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg to the yogurt mixture.

7. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature. Flip over onto a plate, eat and enjoy!
Max is always up for making yogurt cake, although that
2 year old smile is starting to feel a bit forced.
