Yellow Plum Crumble Cake

We have two Mirabelle (yellow plum) trees at the very back of our backyard garden; and there's another one in our mountain garden. Thus, we have more than enough yellow plums this year.

Our guests are happy to bring home a basketful especially if they get to pick them themselves; the rest we deliver to our friends and neighbors around town. We don't want to see the plums go to waste, so we have to be creative in the kitchen again.

My first attempt to bake using the yellow plums is this crumble cake (I have already posted the Yellow Plum Cheesecake Recipe, I was not so sure if it's a good choice because it might be too sour for my girls' taste. But nope, it was a hit!
