The batter had a really delicate pink tinge to it, and had I not used up every single drop of red food coloring when I made red velvet cake back in June, I would have kicked it up with a few drops for color. The frosting was basic cream cheese frosting. I was going to perk it up with some spices but i was lazy and you know what? Not everything needs to be perfect and if you are a frosting person, cream cheese frosting is JUST FINE. If you are not a frosting person, that is okay because you are like me. I don't like frosting to interfere with my cake.
final verdict? very moist and sweet without being overly sweet. The plums give it a great taste and the pie spice compliments it well. They aren't going to knock your socks off with a strong flavour, but they taste delish. I had to cook them a bit longer than i would have normally, although it may be my oven, which is still new. I really liked the recipe and i might use a little less liquid next time (i did add a bit of water) but overall it's a keeper.
