Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Batter

In a large bowl, *beat the eggs* with sugar and vanilla sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This will take a few minutes.

Next, add the *melted butter* and *sour cream* to the egg mixture. Continue to mix until *fully combined* and smooth.

Step 2

Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, sift the *flour* together with the *baking powder* and a pinch of salt. Add the *almond flour* and stir to *combine evenly*.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just *incorporated*.

Step 3

Bake the Cake

*Preheat your oven* to 190°C (375°F). Pour the batter into a *greased cake pan* and smooth the top. Arrange the *sliced plums* on top of the batter.

Sprinkle with *almond flakes* for a nice crunch. Bake in the *preheated oven* for *45 minutes*, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 4

Cool and Serve

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it *cool in the pan* for about 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to *cool completely*.

*Enjoy your homemade Almond Plum Cake* with a hot cup of coffee or tea!

These tweaks will ensure everyone can enjoy this delightful cake, regardless of dietary restrictions! 🚫🍞🌱🍰

Faq

  • How do I know if my cake is done?

    Insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done!

  • Can I use other types of fruit instead of plums?

    Absolutely! Peaches, apricots, or even apples would work well as substitutes.

  • Why is it important to sift the flour?

    Sifting helps to remove any lumps and incorporates air, resulting in a lighter, fluffier cake.

  • Can I use an alternative sweetener?

    Yes, you can use honey, maple syrup, or any sugar substitute of your choice, keeping in mind the conversion ratios.

  • How can I make the cake more moist?

    Try adding a bit more sour cream or a splash of milk to your batter.

  • What’s the best way to store this cake?

    Keep it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or in the fridge for up to a week.
