"This Upside Down Plum & Cardamom Cake is an elegant yet simple dessert to showcase juicy summer plums. First, I layer thin slices of plums in the pan, then pour melted sugar over the top to help set and caramelize the fruit. Next, I add the cardamom cake batter, which bakes into a tender, buttery crumb. The fragrant cardamom pairs beautifully with the sweet-tart plums, and a dollop of whipped cream (or vanilla ice cream) makes for a perfect finishing touch." — Nea Arentzen
