Plum streusel cake
Posted: January 3, 2011 Filed under: food | Tags: baking, food 2 CommentsWhat to do when it’s dull and raining and you have a big bag of locally grown plums picked up for a dollar last week? Why, make German Plum Streusel Cake, of course! I’m not much of a baker (more a cook, I don’t have a big sweet tooth) so I was reasonably pleased with how this turned out. Next time, though, I’ll turn the oven down slightly to avoid the bottom layer getting too dry.
Enjoying a piece now with a cup of tea. Guten appetit!

Ever wondered why your morning cup of coffee is so important to you? Lifehacker looks at the science behind what caffeine actually does to your brain. Interesting stuff. Although I do get headaches if I don’t have my cup of coffee in the morning, which bothers me a little, I look forward to it every day, so I’m not planning on giving up my single cup each morning anytime soon. Life’s gotta have some simple pleasures.
