Experience the delightful blend of juicy plums and nutty almonds in this easy-to-make cake, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh plums, sliced
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a round cake pan with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. Wash and slice your plums into wedges, ensuring they are juicy but firm for optimal texture.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gradually incorporate almond flour until fully blended.
  4. Gently fold half of the plum slices into your batter. Pour this mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
  5. Arrange the remaining plum slices on top of the batter along with sliced almonds.
  6. Bake for about 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool slightly before serving.
