Step 1

Preheat oven to 320°F. Lightly coat an 8-inch round spring-form pan with cooking spray. Place a glass baking dish (any size) half-filled with water on the lower rack of your oven.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine plums, chocolate and water. Let stand 5 minutes until plums soften and chocolate melts. Stir.

Step 3

In a food processor, combine plum mixture, flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar and salt. Whirl 40 seconds until nearly smooth.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand whisk or mixer to beat eggs and granulated sugar until thick and foamy. Stir in half the plum mixture. With a spatula, gently fold in remaining plum mixture and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. Do not over mix. Pour into prepared pan.

Step 5

Arrange walnut halves evenly around edge. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup chopped walnuts in center. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until the center feels set when gently touched. Cool completely before slicing. Serve room temperature or chilled.
