Pecan plum cake, with cardmon ice cream and ganache heart

This summer's farmer's market has been a feast of fruits. Sadly, that time is ending. One of the last decent fruits has been the plum. We made this dessert a long time ago, and hopefully Jeremy can find the recipe for both the cake and the ice cream. In the meantime, here's a very easy recipe for chocolate ganache (pictured below on the plate with the cake.)
1/2 c whole milk
2 T butter
1 package chocolate chips like Ghiardelli (the better the chocolate, the better the ganache)
Heat milk and butter in a double broiler over medium low until milk boils. Turn off heat and add chocolate chips. Let sit until chocolate is mostly melted. Stir until smooth.
