The legendary plum cake from The New York Times: history and recipe for this delicious dessert for tea

Every September from 1983 to 1989, until the editors decided that was enough, The New York Times published a recipe for plum cake. But then, 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 print, with a dashed line around it to encourage people to cut it out and hang it on, say, the refrigerator. But, even after that, readers kept demanding to print their favorite recipe for delicious plum pastries.
