Plum Cake in Berliner Style

Ingredients

• 750 g plums
• 125 g butter
• 110 g coconut sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 180 g whole wheat flour
• 1.5 tsp Baking Powder
• 125 g ground almond kernels
• 2 tbsp breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp chopped almonds

Instructions

1. 1.

   Beat the butter with coconut sugar until fluffy, add eggs one at a time, then stir in 170 g of flour, baking powder and ground almonds to form a smooth dough. Wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.

2. 2.

   Meanwhile, clean, wash, drain plums, cut half lengthwise and pit them.

3. 3.

   Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface slightly larger than the pan, line the pan with it, lift up a rim, sprinkle breadcrumbs over the edge. Arrange the plums cut side up in a roof‑tile pattern on the dough and press gently down. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C (180 °C fan or gas level 3) for about 40 minutes. Remove, let cool slightly, lift out of the pan and sprinkle with chopped almonds before serving.
