Hi Nancy and friends, This is for Jan Muskegon, Mi

Placzak

3 cups flour
2 sticks butter
1 cup sugar
5 egg yolks (save whites for 2nd step)
1 tsp baking powder
cocoa

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.
