This is a great, lower-fat alternative to the original plum torte. You really don't feel that you're missing anything except the calories. The texture is a bit different (less buttery) but still delicious. Recommended for all you plum torte devotees.

Made this extra New Age: Instead of egg substitute I threw in ~1 cup of leftover white rice. Instead of wheat flour I used 1/2 cup fine brown rice flour & 1/2 cup almond flour. Instead of butter 1/4 cup Earth Balance. Cinnamon in the batter. 28 Italian Plum halves. 45 mins in the oven. Absolutely delicious

My favorite late summer dessert, when I first see Italian prune plums at the farmer's market. Lovely flavor we've enjoyed for many years. Freezes well, if there's any left. I use 2 whole eggs instead of the egg substitute.

What egg substitute can be used in this recipe?

One more thing: For me, never, ever, any cinnamon.

Made this for a New Year's Eve gathering. I appreciated the ease of the recipe and the presentation of the tort. However, the texture was unexpectedly more chewy than I expected from using white flour and have encountered from baking other lightened cakes and torts. I used prunes rather than unavailable prune plums. I would make again with actual prune plums, and especially with comments to improve the texture.
