Ingredients

  • 150 g coconut oil
  • 300 g spelt flour (Type 630)
  • 200 g Whole spelt flour
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 0.5 Vanilla pod
  • 225 ml milk (3.5% fat)
  • 125 g honey
  • 42 g yeast (1 cube)
  • 1.5 kg plums
  • 50 g whole grain breadcrumbs
  • 50 g rolled oats
  • 40 g ground almonds
  • 50 g coconut flakes
  • 1 tbsp erythritol powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Melt 75 g coconut oil in a small pot over low heat. Add both flours, one egg, melted coconut oil and salt to a large mixing bowl. Split the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Add the vanilla seeds to the flour mixture.

  2. 2.

    Warm milk and 75 g honey in a small pot until lukewarm and dissolve the yeast in it. Add the yeast milk to the flour mixture and mix with hand mixer beaters into a smooth dough. Shape into a ball, place in a bowl, cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free spot for about an hour until the dough has roughly doubled.

  3. 3.

    Meanwhile wash, pit and halve the plums.

  4. 4.

    Knead the dough again vigorously. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and roll out the dough onto it, forming a small edge. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Arrange the plums on top of the dough in a tiled pattern.

  5. 5.

    For the topping, grind rolled oats in a blender or electric coffee grinder. Melt the remaining coconut oil. Mix ground oats with almonds, coconut flakes, remaining honey, coconut oil and remaining egg to make a crumble. Scatter over the plums. Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (fan 160 °C; gas: level 2–3) for about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Cut into pieces and dust with erythritol powdered sugar.
