Heidi's Rogue Kitchen

My grandmother always made this recipe when I was growing up, and she never measured anything but it came out perfectly delicious every time. We found the zwetschgens – or Italian prune plums – at a farmer market this summer, which reminded me of how much I loved this cake. It’s sweet, tart, buttery, and full of family memories.
