thoughtful consumption

My plums from last week became individual plum upside down cakes from Simply Recipes.

First, I sliced the plums.

Then I peeled them. Probably should have reversed these two steps.

My plums were very ripe because I’d left them on the table since Wednesday. So they weren’t slices as much as mush. Good mush, though.

I needed three servings, so I used some larger soup dishes instead of the recommended ramekins.

plums, brown sugar, and butter - so far so good!

Then I added the batter and put them in the oven.

Anybody else thing upside-down cake looks a lot like rightside-up cobbler?

I thought the cakes were way too sweet, though – teeth-achingly so! I’m cutting the sugar in half next time and won’t be surprised if it’s still plenty sweet.

And, oh yeah, the peaches became muffins after all.
