The New York Times Plum Torte

A wildly popular American dessert, this plum torte recipe has been featured for many years in "The New York Times" magazine, giving it its renowned name. The fame of this plum torte is well-deserved - the ingredients are simple and readily available, and it is prepared very quickly - just a few steps and it's ready for the oven.

The taste and aroma are absolutely fantastic. It surpasses any plum cake I've made before. It's tender, aromatic, and fine. My family loved it and requested that I make it again in the future.
