Fresh Plum Quick Bread Recipe

The simple bread tastes like cake. Every bite brings sweet, tart plums and warm spices. Perfect for weekend brunch dessert, breakfast (my favorite), or afternoon coffee! My Torta di Mela e Prugne is apple and plum cake, like this quick bread.

Mix flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Margarine (or oil or butter), sugar, and vanilla extract should be mixed medium-high speed in an electric mixer or large bowl by hand.
