Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Ingredients

Start by ensuring that all ingredients are at *room temperature*. This will help them combine better.

Gather 5 large eggs, 200 grams (1 cup) of *granulated sugar*, a pinch of *salt*, 1 packet of *vanilla sugar*, 1 teaspoon of *baking powder*, and 200 grams (1.5 cups) of *all-purpose flour*.

Step 2

Mix the Batter

In a large mixing bowl, use a mixer to *whisk the eggs* and gradually add in the sugar. Continue mixing until the mixture becomes *light and fluffy*.

Next, sift in the *baking powder and flour*. Gently fold the mixture together with a spatula, making sure to mix from the *bottom to the top* to maintain air in the batter.

Step 3

Assemble the Pie

Once the batter is well mixed, pour it into a greased pie dish. *Carefully arrange your plums* or chosen fruits on top, pressing them gently into the batter.

Step 4

Bake the Pie

Preheat your oven to *180°C (350°F)*. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for *40 to 50 minutes*, or until golden brown.

If desired, once cooled, you can dust the pie with *powdered sugar* for an added touch of sweetness.

Servings

Imagine slicing into this golden cake, the sweet aroma wafting around, and freshly baked goodness surrounding you. **Serve it warm** with a sprinkle of powdered sugar for that classic finish. Pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to add a delightful creaminess that contrasts beautifully with the fruit's tang! 🍦😋 For gatherings, you could cut the cake into bite-size squares, serve on a beautiful platter, and watch as everyone reaches for seconds! It’s perfect for picnics or potlucks—everyone will be raving about your baking skills! And don’t forget, a side of berries can make for a refreshing contrast on your dessert table! 🎉

Variations

Looking for something a bit different? You can easily customize this cake! For a **gluten-free** version, substitute regular flour with almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend. This will still keep the cake delicious and fluffy, and your gluten-intolerant friends will thank you! 🌾❌ For those on a **vegan** diet, replace the eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water or a vegan egg substitute! Combine 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 2.5 tablespoons of water per egg and let it sit until it thickens. This simple hack ensures your cake remains moist and delightful without using any animal products! 🌱🥳
