Plum-Peach Olive Oil Cake (Plus, Big News!)
If there’s one thing that always drives me nuts it’s produce gone to waste. There are two reasons for this: first, produce is darn expensive and throwing out plums, peaches or pears that are just a touch too ripe for impromptu snacking seems like such a waste; and second, it makes me very sad to think of all the “produce saving” cakes and buckles that aren’t being made. What a shame!
So today, when I noticed that the silver hued bowl that houses produce on my kitchen table had a lonely plum, peach and lemon in it, I knew I had to find a way to use them. The plum and peach were too ripe for snacking, and though I could have sliced the lemon and added the pieces to a cool pitcher of water (perfect hot weather refreshment!) I decided to defy the 95 degree F weather outside and bake a cake. A small cake though. That bakes fast.
The recent edition of Martha Stewart’s Food Magazine had the winning recipe, catching my eye with a mouth watering image of a plum cake dusted with confectioners sugar. I modified the recipe by replacing half the plum slices with peach slices, substituting olive oil for butter, adding baking powder and swapping plain yogurt for sour cream. The end result was a delicious and relatively healthy little Plum & Peach Olive Oil Cake that came together in 10 minutes and baked in 35. Not bad for a hot day, and even better when served with vanilla ice cream. Mmm mm.
This is why I think it’s such a shame to toss super ripe fruit.
Now before the recipe I feel like I owe you an explanation for dropping off the face of the blogosphere for more than a month. Blogging was out. Twitter was nearly out. And Facebook was definitely an infrequent friend. Why the sudden shift? Well, first there was the fact that we moved to a new apartment, but really the reason is that… I’m pregnant! That’s right, this foodie household has a very special bun in the oven and the 1st trimester did me in with overwhelming exhaustion and a complete lack of interest in food. I’ll spare you all the details but let’s just say that I didn’t enjoy the rocking motion of the cruise ship we were on in May as much as I might have otherwise. Hoo boy.
At our last doctor’s visit we got a great little photo of the baby, which I hope you won’t mind my sharing. I’m so happy I can tell you! It was so hard to keep it a secret. I’m almost 17 weeks along now and due in late January 2010.
OMG!
We still haven’t decided if we’re going to find out the gender before it’s born. Here’s a question for the parents out there: did you find out beforehand?
Ok, enough dilly dallying – here’s the recipe. Enjoy!
Plum-Peach Olive Oil Coffee Cake
Adapted from Martha Stewart Food
Ingredients: Makes 1
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt (or, sour cream)
- 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus a touch more for tossing with fruit
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large plum, halved, pitted and cut into eight slices
- 1 large peach, halved, pitted and cut into eight slices
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch spring form pan with baking spray, such as PAM. Set aside.
In a large bowl using a spoon, thoroughly combine the olive oil, sugars, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest and yogurt.
In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
Add the flour mixture to the olive oil mixture in two batches, mixing until just combined. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth top with the back of your spoon.
Toss the plum and peach slices with about 2 teaspoons of flour (I just grabbed a few generous pinches of flour and mixed it all up). Sprinkle the fruit slices over the batter, then bake the cake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Loosely tent the with aluminum foil and continue to bake until the sides of the cake pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 5-10 more minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing the sides of the pan. Dust with confectioners sugar and serve, warm and with vanilla ice cream if you like.

My Favorite Ice Cream Book
I love the recipes in this book, which not only has a fantastic selection but tons of ideas for ice cream variations. A great addition to your summer bookshelf.

COngratulations!!! I am so happy for you! I found out the sex of both of mine. I figure there are enough surprises in life and I could live without that one!
Hello! I love you blog, and this cake looks delicious!
Congratulations on the pregnancy! With my first son, I did not find out what sex he was, but with my second, I did. I found that it was easier to say to my older son, that he was going to have a brother…and his name is… For me, knowing the sex was more personable.
Good luck! It is a fun roller coaster ride!
Mazel tov, again!! He/she looks so cute already!! As for finding out the gender ahead of time, we knew with Alice but I think the second time around, I might not want to know… It was a teeny bit anticlimatic to know, and these days, birth is so demystified and scientific, that I think not knowing the gender would make it less scientific, or something! There’s something special about not knowing somehow, and it’s right up there with that Orthodox Jewish tradition of not revealing the baby’s name until the bris or babynaming.
That cake looks yummy, by the way!!
Congratulations again. We found out with our first two and opted to wait with the third. I think it was more exciting to not know until the doctor told us after she was born. Just as Nancy already said, everything else is so scientific and anti-climatic.
CONGRATS! That is great news. The cake looks lovely as well. I hate wasting produce too. I made 2 plum cakes today because our tree went nuts this year:)
OOHH!! I hope that tastes as good as it looks, Cause it looks fantastic.
We didn’t want to know ahead of time, but my daughter does. Different generations.
The cake is nice, but your BIG NEWS is spectacular!
Congratulations and all best wishes for the rest of your pregnancy. That ultrasound image is terrific.
If it were my baby, I’d really want to know the gender–but I think I’d wait till the baby arrived to find out.
What an exciting time for you and your husband.
Cristina
I didn’t know the sex of my first three, but I needed to have amnio for my last one (due to my age at the time) and my husband wanted to know, so we asked. We didn’t want to share the sex of the baby with others (not even my mother-in-law) so I had a harder time keeping that a secret than I did keeping my first trimester secret!
Congratulations! I’m so thrilled for you. I think it would be fun to wait but the practical side of me would say it’s good know so you and people getting you presents can prepare. I like knowing ahead of time.
Congrats! I’m definitely finding out the sex – I have a little over 3 weeks until my ultrasound and I’m very excited to find out – I wrote about my reasons in my blog, a few entries back
I love the cake but HOLY GOODNESS CONGRATULATIONS ON THE PREGNANCY!!!!!!!!!!
I missed your posts and was wondering where you had gone! CONGRATS!
A fun foodie book I recommend to all my pregnant friends – “The Hungry Monkey” (http://hungrymonkeybook.com/). It helps teach your kid how to be an adventurous eater.
Glad you’re back!
Mazal tov!!! I’m so excited for you! B’sha’ah Tova! When are you due?
Thank you! And I’m due in late January.
I should add that to the post.
Congratulations that is truly wonderful news!! All the best to you on this adventure.
Congratulations!!! What happy news!
Take care and enjoy the ride now that the first trimester nausea is over!
Wow, congrats!
Hurray, you are back. A Big Congratulations! It’s nice to know what your special project is.
Beautiful cake and looks absolutely delicious.
What a great way to use ripe fruit.
My husband and I preferred to be surprised on delivery day, but of course that is not for everyone.
Congratulations…the recipe looks great and your news is so fun. I’ve had two children…the first time I didn’t find out the gender and the second time I did…I preferred not knowing….Best of luck to all of you!
Congratulations, Ari! That’s fabulous news!!! All the best!
Congratulations! What great news!
Looks so good and am so happy to see that u used olive oil and produce. We need more of this type of baking!
wonderful news! congratulations!
Congratulations!! I’m 23 weeks along and did find out the sex. I experienced fatigue during the first trimester but this second one has been great so far and my appetite is definitely back. We also just moved this week. Lots of big changes but exciting, isn’t it?
Very!
Congratulations! We found out the gender the firts time but not the second time. I was actually surprised that I liked not knowing better.
OMG, I’m so happy for you! That’s great! Congrats!
A lovely cake!
Good to read you again…
Cheers,
Rosa
Congratulations on your special bun in the oven! How exciting for you both! Your cake looks fabulous by the way! It’s great catching up with your blog with all the delicious entries you’ve posted recently and hopefully I’ll have more time in the future to stop by and comment!
Congratulations on the little one, hope you’re feeling better now, but it’s all worth it!
We wanted to know what gender it would be.. they told us a boy, but it turned out to be a girl!
the second time they said a boy and were right. It’s a personal decision, just do what you feel is right!
OMG!! Congratulations! Thank you for sharing the first picture
And I’m happy to see you’re back! You moved just at the right time, it’s great! Now you can just enjoy decorating the baby’s room…
Congratulations!!! Must be very exciting!! The baby is so clearly visible, and already so cute
Congatulations!!!!

Mazal Tov! I will tell you that I preferred not to know. For me, all the fun of being pregnant was the anticipation of what would be- that’s just my personal opinion. I ‘ve had 3 children and didn’t want to know in advance with any of them what the gender was. I was thrilled and elated to have three healthy girls!
All the best to you and hope you are feeling better!
I’m delighted to read you again and with a truly wonderful news: congratulations! The cake is very successful, good for fruit somewhat ‘too ripe, thanks!
Congratulations! We had three children and found out on each of them. My philosphy was that it will be a surprise at 20 weeks, or at 40. But if I had one more, I think I would wait… just for the “adventure” in it. It was helpful though in planning to know.
I had a surprise the first time, amnio the second time. My husband wanted to know baby’s gender and the nurse told him, “It’s your wife’s body and her results.” That lasted about ten seconds. My daughter, on the other hand, does not like surprises at all, so she wanted to know as soon as possible. Congratulations! Baby is beautiful!
Congratulations on this wonderful news and all the best to you and baby!
Besha’ah tovah!
I KNEW IT! Last time you hinted that there was some big news coming up, and I just knew it! So exciting.
The cake looks great, by the way.
Such thrilling, exciting news. I am so happy for you and wish you a very happy, easy pregnancy from now on. All of mine were born before sonograms, so I had no choice. Either way is exciting, so go with your decision and enjoy this time of your life. They grow up so fast!!! My baby is 35.
hey hey congrats on the newbie!
this is a pretty little cake (even prettier with vanilla ice cream I’m sure!)
we think along similar produce lines. muffins are my standby as they are really quite difficult to screw up.
This cake is a lovely way to make spectacular use of fruity odds and ends. And, your baby news is wonderful! I’m so happy for you and your family. Many congrats!
Congratulations!
I had a twin pregnancy and did not know the sex before birth. I have 2 sons who are now 20 years old and in college.
heyyy…congrats
do take good care of urself and the lil wonder inside 
Congrats! We have five kids, and only had and ultrasound and found out the gender for our two-month-old. The funny thing was, we had a harder time picking out a name when we knew.
Congratulations! What wonderful news! K x
Congrats!!!!!
How exciting to have a little one on the way. The cake sounds fab, as well. Hope the rest of this journey is pleasant for you.
My baby is 30 this week. She was the only one we knew the gender — there are 3 older brothers and it was a relief to only think about girls’ names. Whatever she turned out to be she still had lots of blue outfits anyway. What would I do now? Leave it til the end, I think. I’ve always gone on the “you take what you get” principle.
When you have more energy, start stocking the freezer!
Thanks for the lovely cake and thanks for the lovely first portrait.
That is an excellent idea, to start stocking the freezer! … You’re a genius.
Congrats on your little one!
Yay! I’m so happy for you. Kids are the best. I couldn’t wait to find out with my daughter, and I’m pregnant right now and will be finding out as soon as possible! I like to plan. And clothes are not as unisex as you might think, it’s actually kind of hard to find them! Congratulations!
Congrats to you too!
Congratulations! And yes, I found out w/ both of mine. It makes planning so much easier, and plus I was just too excited to wait!
Congrats!! I couldn’t imagine trying to maintain a food blog during my first trimesters!
We didn’t find out the sex for my first child, but many people said I looked like I was going to have a boy. Even the nurse at my OB/GYN said that the heart rate usually meant that the baby was a boy. I had a girl. She was definitely a surprise after I had psyched myself up for a boy!
Congrats! I had a feeling in your last post that you were going to come up with this news…just a gut feeling, since, at the time you posted it, I was just over my first trimester myself, and I STILL didn’t have any interest in food.
Looks like we’re almost exactly a month apart. I’m at 21 weeks right now. And, NO, my husband and I have decided not to find out the sex. We both feel that babies are gender-typed too early, and would like to delay the inevitable as long as possible. The less pink frilly dresses or overalls with trucks and trains on them in the beginning, the better, in our opinion.
Congrats again!
Yes, looks like exactly 1 month apart, how cool.
Congrats!
Ari, I really love your blog and wish you a big mazel tov on your pregnancy. It’s such an exciting time. I am mom to three grown children now. When they were born we didn’t have the option of knowing the sex and with the first one, as I was wheeled into the recovery room after his birth, I told my husband I heard trumpets playing in the hallway. He swore there were no trumpets but I was in such a state of bliss from the surprise of having a son and holding him in my arms that I was sure there were (still am! There were definitely trumpets!)So for me, the “not knowing” added to the experience. But… it’s certainly practical to be prepared. Good luck!
soooooo happy for you! A new baby, what fun
You’ll get to teach him/her how to eat all kinds of different foods… that’s so much fun!
Yummy looking cake!
I hope so. You want to know something funny? One of my biggest parenting fears is that our child will be a picky eater. Perish the thought!
many, many, many congratulations! although i have no experience in the matter, i think you should wait to find out. i love surprises.
I haven’t stopped by in a while, but I love the new look! Congratulations on your BIG NEWS! I wish you all the best!
CONGRATS!! You will have your little one just as mine is turning 1. I found out the sex, but I am one of those people who like to be prepared. It was nice to have lots of clothes and to have the nursery done before she got here. I guess I figure it’s either a surprise now or a surprise then!
Congratulations! How exciting! I have 3 grown children, and I didn’t want to know the sex ahead of time. I wanted to be surprised. I hope you’re feeling well, and resting whenever you can. Good luck, and thanks for the recipe. I have some peaches & plums I need to use, too.
CONGA RATS! woo hoo!
I can’t wait to find out where your pregnancy food cravings lead you in the way of recpipes LOL!
I’m so happy for you!
My good friend and her husband didn’t find out the sex on either of their two girls beforehand, and i have to say, it was awesome to have surprises.
congrats Ari!!!
Mazel Tov again
Saw the wonderful news earlier and wanted to wish you and your husband the best as you get ready for the baby’s arrival. We opted to find out both times. I wanted to know so we could plan for a bris a little before. Both times we had little guys and needed this information to warn family and friends.
Congratulations!!!!!!! Wonderful news!
Oh my goodness CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!! What a wonderful thing!!!!!!! So happy for you!!
Congratulations!!! I bet that baby will eat very well!!
CONGRATULATIONS!
Biggest hug,
Paz
Well, well! A thousand congratulations. May the child be as grateful to have you as its mother as we all are to share in the experience.
And that cake might just be bakeable here in Japan, too. I’ll try it and see.
What a lovely comment! Thank you Travis.
What kinds of produce are there in Japan? How long are you there for?
congratulations! just such wonderful news!
Congratulations! I had an amazing pregnancy both times. I didn’t want it to end. I even did hypno-birthing the second time around. That was even more amazing, and it amazed my doctor & all the nurses how well everything went without drugs.
We didn’t find out the sex for my first daughter, but the second one, we did ask. The doctor came back with the answer of “probably girl, but not for sure.” I whole-heartedly agree with everyone who says that it’s such a surprise to wait until the end. When the doctor says, “IT’S A ____!” It’s so very exciting and thrilling. You will never be able to recapture that feeling.
I am so happy for you! I missed getting the emails, but can certainly understand the delay now!
When I was pregnant with my daughter, who is now 14, my husband and I wanted to know. We were SO excited anticipating what they would tell us when they called. And her birth was so exciting, that I can’t possibly imagine that I would have been any MORE excited if I had not known she was a girl. What we kept secret was her name. The funniest thing happened, though. A cousin of my husband’s (who hadn’t seen us in a couple of years), heard that we had had a baby (but in reality the news at that time was that we were HAVING a baby, because she wasn’t born yet.) He called us and said, “Congratulations! I just heard”. We thought he was congratulating us on the pregnancy, and thanked him. He said, “What’s her name?” Again, we thought he heard we were having a girl and wanted to know what we were naming her. So I said, “We’re not telling anybody yet.” There was a long silence. Then he said, “When was she born?” I cracked up laughing, realizing that he thought that she was already born but that we were keeping her name a secret from everyone! We all had a good laugh.
Congratulations and best wishes for a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby! You and your husband sound like you are going to be wonderful parents. We know the baby will grow up in household whose kitchen and table will provide lifelong memories of healthy and happy eating. Sharing with others will also be a legacy you will provide. This is great news. Thanks for sharing. You and your family will be in our thoughts and be sent positive energy.
Congrats! This is so exciting. I hope you keep us posted along the way.
B’Sha’ah Tovah!
We found out with my last two since we now live in Israel and wanted to give family warning if there was to be a Brit.
Both were boys. For the first my FIL came in. For the second, unfortunately no one did.
Congrats Ari! to you and your husband
I’m so happy for you.
Great news, congratulations !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The cake looks lovely and I know how delicious can be, because my mom used to make a very similar one, sometimes with plums, sometimes with peaches, apples and even with rasberries and blueberries..
congratulations on your baby! Your cake recipe sounds great and looks yummy, and again congrats
Congratulations to you and your husband! That is wonderful news!
I hope your appetite returns. This cake should help! Looks great, as ever.
With all the time you spend in the kitchen, I’m surprised you found the time to…
…oh, never mind! You know what I mean!
Mazel tov!
Oh my gosh Andy! lol.
Yay! Congratulations!
We found out the sex – I couldn’t stand to wait – plus I bought TONS of clothes and such. Personal preference, of course. (Second time around? I may wait. IF there is a second time around. HA.)
And the cake looks wonderful. But that goes without saying!
Congratulations! A good celebration comes with a wonderful cake like this… yummmy. We wanted to know before.. and we had 3 boys, but it was so good to find out and call the baby his name, buy things that they would use and wear accordingly, and when I looked at stuff I knew what to buy and look for, but as in the past moms did not know, they used their instinct better I guess
So, what is your guess? I am so happy for you.
Congratulations! May your children have the same love and appreciation for food as you.
The doctors don’t like to say with certainty what the sex of your baby is when looking at the ultrasound (fear of getting sued for making a mistake?). But my brother-in-law is an ultrasound tech and he had no problem pointing out the “boy parts” on our son’s first ultrasound.
I found out the gender of both of my kids before they were born. I have a lot of friends who have chosen to wait, and I think there’s value in doing it either way. It’s about your comfort level. I enjoyed knowing, and being that I’m pretty neurotic about most things, this was just easier for me.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! That’s amazingly exciting. It should be interesting to see what concoctions you come up with if any strong cravings crop up
This cake sounds delicious.
mazal tov! how exciting! hope the rest of your pregnancy is easier than the beginning! enjoy the process! thanks for sharing it with us
Congrats!
I have no children, so I cannot weigh in on the gender issue.
A number of my friends have recently had their own first babes, and even if they knew the gender they didn’t tell people. I think it was to cut down on the number of frilly obviously girly pink clothing. For some reason, I find more of the girl baby clothes objectionable.
Congratulations! This is going to be one well-fed baby! : )
Ahhh congrats!!! That is fabulous news
Can’t wait to hear more details! Oh, and your plum cake looks delicious…. hope you got to enjoy it 
I had a feeling! Sooooo exciting! Hope you’re feeling good. I found out with both of my girls-couldn’t stand the suspense!
Congratulations on your pregnancy!
The cake looks yummy! Do you think canola oil could be used instead of olive oil? We usually don’t have olive oil.
Yes, I think canola oil or butter would work just fine.
Hi Ari!
It is SO good to find you back on Baking and Books! I can’t tell you how much I’ve missed reading your posts, and talking with you through comments and email. When I saw your site with a bold font and (1) next to the name on my Google Reader, I was giddy with excitement. Beautiful job on your revised recipe for Plum-Peach Olive Oil cake. Your creativity and boldness in the kitchen never ceases to amaze me!
And now on to more important things- MAZEL TOV my dear! What a blessing- I am SO very happy for you and your husband. I can’t think of a better reason to take a short hiatus from baking/blogging, but I hope the rest of the pregnancy gives you cravings for all the many delicious treats you always whip up! And my goodness, your baby is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! I teared up a little bit when I saw the ultra sound picture… I couldn’t help myself. I’ve never seen a more perfect little being! How are you feeling? I hope the nausea and exhaustion have subsided, and you’re feeling strong and well rested. I can’t believe you’re due in January- that’s right around the corner! You are going to be the most amazing mom, Ari, and that is one lucky little baby to be born into such a special family! Before you know it, your little one will be on your hip as you whisk and stir away- now all you have to do is figure out how to measure ingredients with one hand!
Please keep us updated as things progress!
I have some exciting news (no where near as important or wonderful as your own) to share with you as well. After being an avid blog reader for about a year, and continually being inspired by exceptional bloggers like yourself, I decided to finally make the jump and start a site of my own! It’s been such a fun experience, and a pleasure connecting with other people who share a similar passion for cooking and baking. I wanted to thank you, because you gave me the confidence to try something new, and I really appreciate all the thoughtful advice you gave me. Without you, I might never have given it a shot. I’d love for you to stop by and check it out if you have a chance- any feedback or suggestions you could offer would be GREATLY appreciated! You know how much I admire your work, and since you’re familiar with wordpress too, you are the ideal person to ask! Here’s a link to “Hot Oven, Warm Heart”: http://hotovenwarmheart.wordpress.com/
I hope you’re doing well, enjoying summer, and remembering to put your feet up and REST from time to time! I look forward to hearing from you soon! Feel free to leave a comment or email if you get a chance- whatever is more convenient!
Fondly,
Joy
P.S.- Before I forget, I had a quick question for you. A representative from Stoneyfield Farm came across my blog and contacted me to offer some coupons for free products (including their Oikos Greek yogurt). She thought I might be interested in testing their yogurts in my baking. I know that you often use yogurt in your recipes, and I was wondering if you had any suggestions about what I should make. Do you have a favorite baked good that incorporates yogurt? Any ideas would be fantastic. Thanks so much!
Wow! What a comment. Thanks so much for leaving such a thoughtful response and congrats on your new blog.
To answer your question: there are many recipes I make with yogurt but Oikos is greek yogurt so it can’t be substituted in recipes for regular yogurt (it has a very different flavor). If I were you I would search the web for recipes made specifically with greek yogurt.
Hi Ari!
Thanks so much for responding- it’s great to hear from you. Just wanted to clarify- I do have coupons for the greek yogurt, but I have some for their other products (regular plain yogurt) AS WELL. So if you have any favorite recipes to share that use the plain yogurt, I’d love your suggestions! If you get a chance, please let me know!
Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend!
Thanks again,
Joy
So exciting about the baby. Congrats!!
Congratulations Ari. I was wondering what happened to you. As soon I saw this post highlighted in my reader I started to read only to be distracted soon enough and I missed the BIG news. Congratulations to both you guys! Wish you health and happiness through this period.
Congratulations! And, I didn’t know mosquitos preferred pregnant women because they’ve always preferred to anyone else, except my little sister (I tend to stay near her when we’re outside).
make that always preferred *me*
congratulations! love the photo.
Congratulations!
Whoa! That really is big news! I’m so happy for you, Ari. Congratulations to you and your family.
Ari, you were dearly missed! Congrats to you and the hubby!
Huge congrats on your own personal “bun in the oven”!!!
Glad you’re back, too!
Big congrats to you and welcome back! Also glad you are feeling better. That first trimester can be rough. We found out with both our boys. I am not good at delayed gratification and I just couldn’t wait 40 weeks. I think it really helped my husband bond with the unborn baby knowing the gender.
Belated congratulations! And no, I didn’t want to know the sex of my two – which lead me both times to yell “WHAT?” on the delivery table quite loudly! I guessed wrong both times:)
Ari ~ congratulations! What exciting news!
We didn’t find out the sex of either of our children (and guessed wrong both times). It was fun waiting for the moment of truth.
All best,
Sandy
That cake looks amazing! I totally agree, I hate it when food goes to waste.
