Instructions

1.
Gather the spelt flours on a work surface and create a well in the center. Add 50 g coconut blossom sugar, the egg, and 140 g of butter cut into small pieces to the well; use a knife to mix thoroughly. Quickly knead the resulting crumbs together until a smooth dough forms. Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2.
While the dough chills, clean, wash, halve, and pit the plums. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface slightly larger than the pan; line the pan with the dough and lift up a rim. Prick the base several times with a fork and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Arrange the plum halves in a brick-like pattern from outside to inside over the base.

3.
Mix the remaining butter with the leftover flour, almonds, and remaining coconut blossom sugar; rub into crumbs with your hands and spread over the plums. Bake the cake on a middle rack in a preheated oven at 180 °C (fan 160 °C; gas: level 2–3) for 25–30 minutes. Remove, let cool briefly, lift out of the pan, cut into pieces, and serve.
