1 cup sugar
5 egg yolks (save whites for 2nd step)

Mix (knead) and divide into 3 equal parts. 1st add
cocoa (about 1 tsp) to one of the 3 parts you just
divided. Leave in refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.

Take one ball and pat into a 13x9 in pan add the fruit
(Italian plums divided into two is best) Just lay them
side by side till whole pan is covered You may also use
sliced apples as the plumes are usually in season in the
fall.

Next take 2nd ball and crumble on top of the plumes.
Beat 5 egg whites stiff, add 1/2 Cup sugar. Pour over
the fruit.

Take 3rd ball (cocoa) and crumble last evenly over
the mixture. Bake at 350 to 375F for about 25 to 30 minutes.
