Could I resist?
Mais non!
Straight out of the oven on one of my baking sheets(I really need new ones~)See the life? Lives? And these are not Old..like the old ones gone yrs ago.. and less yrs ago..and less...
I loved the look of hers.. w/ smaller plums.. And...I had looked for some.. To no avail...
These are 2 of my daughters plums..from her fridge I forgot to tell her I borrowed 2:)
Her plums were huge.. So I only used 2 and halved the recipe..
Friends dropped by today..a dear dear couple... and I gave them half~
We kept the other half..4 lovely portions in all~
I am now addicted to this beautiful delicious light cake~
It could not be more delicious if it even tried~
La Recette~
Plum Almond Cake
5 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup almond flour
1/2 cup flour
13 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest
6 Plums, halved and pits removed
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Butter and flour your tart or cake pan. In a large bowl, mix the egg whites and sugar vigorously with a wire whisk for a couple of minutes. Add the flours and whisk again and then add the cooled butter, almond extract and lemon zest and whisk until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan. Place plum halves on top of batter.
Bake for about 25 - 30 minutes until golden brown.
I really think you should try it:) When I halved the recipe..I used 2 egg whites~ The rest pretty much the same~ I did slice a small part off the bottom of the plums so they would lay flatter.. I like this type of dessert..
This looks delicious -- and the long tart pan is one of my favorites.

All summer long I thought about making a plum tart. Now summer's practically over, and my plans never came to fruition.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm ok with it, because you came through, with a tart more beautiful than anything I could've conjured up in my own kitchen.
Btw, I love the header with the boys' names added to it. Sweet.
Wow Monique!! That little cake is stunning. I think I even have that tart pan around here somewhere... Must search the clutter.
ReplyDeleteTed is doing ok. I haven't gotten word back on if he got your note yet. Some of the soldiers he is in charge of are having greater difficulty though. One lost his mother as soon as they arrived, and another's wife had major surgery that didn't go well and he couldn't go home I think.
I wish these things wouldn't happen with everyone is deployed. They will make it though.
Thank-you again for sending a note. Mail is so important and uplifting.
