Legendary plum pie from The New York Times: history and recipe for a delicious dessert for tea

Every September from 1983 through 1989, until the editors decided that enough was enough, The New York Times published a recipe for plum cake. But, afterward, outraged readers kept demanding the dessert recipe and, to counter the outrage, the recipe was printed again one last time in the paper in large type, with a broken line around it to encourage people to cut it out and hang it, say, on the refrigerator. But, even afterward, readers demanded again and again that the much-loved recipe for delicious plum baking be printed.
