COMMENTS: A fresh plum cake warm from the oven, a pot of freshly brewed hot
coffee…these are the makings of a great low-fat breakfast. The base for
the cake is a biscuit dough with yeast added for lightness. Nonfat milk is
stirred into the flour mixture along with some butter for flavor and
tenderness.
