2 c All-purpose flour
1 1/4 ts Nutmeg
1 t Baking powder
1/2 t Baking soda
1/2 t Salt
1/2 c Butter or margarine -- softened
1 1/4 c firmly packed dark brown sugar -- firmly packed/divide
3 Eggs
1 t Vanilla
1 c Low-fat plain yogurt
1/4 c Walnuts -- chopped
TOPPING:
1 lb Plums -- pitted/thinly sliced
1/4 c Brandy*
1 c Heavy cream
2 tb Sugar Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 12 x 8-inch glass baking
pan; set aside. In small bowl, stir together flour, nutmeg, baking powder, baking
soda, and salt; set aside. In large mixer bowl, with electric mixer on high speed, cream
butter with 1 cup of the sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs
and vanilla and beat until light-colored. (The mixture may look
slightly curdled.) With electric mixer on medium speed,
alternately add flour mixture and yogurt, beginning and ending with
flour, beating well after each addition. Spread batter evenly in
prepared pan. Stir together the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and
chopped walnuts; sprinkle evenly over batter. Bake 45 minutes or
until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Remove pan
to wire rack and cool cake completely. While cake is baking, prepare topping. Place sliced plums in
shallow bowl. Pour brandy over plums and toss to coat. Cover and
marinate at room temperature for 1 hour. Drain and reserve
plum-brandy marinade. Just before serving, in medium bowl, with
mixer on high speed, beat cream with sugar until stiff peaks form.
Gently stir in marinade from plums. Spoon whipped cream into a
serving bowl. To serve, remove cake to serving platter. Top each serving with
marinated plums and whipped cream. Calories: about 485 *may substitute pineapple and/or orange juice Source: Woman's World Magazine
