Fruit Platz
Any number or kind of fruits can be used in this traditional Russian Mennonite dessert.
I chose plums.

1 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Platz is an under-rated dessert/cake and I commend Carla for her bold statement. Plums are an awesome choice for platz, by the way, I had some.
Yummy plummy. Looks delish. Is there any left?
