Blood Plum Torte
Report
Adapted from the famous New York Times Purple Plum Torte
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain flour all purpose
- 1 tsp baking powder
- salt large pinch
- 1 cup sugar plus 1 tablespoon extra for the topping
- 115 grams butter at room temperature
- 2 egg large
- 12 blood plums halved and pitted
- 2 tsp lemon juice fresh
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 and grease a 22cm spring form tin.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add the eggs and sift in the flour and baking powder and mix to combine.
- Spoon the batter into the spring form pan and smooth on top, covering with the plums. Sprinkle the plums with the lemon juice and the extra sugar.
- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the middle comes out cleanly. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes before removing.
Notes
- The original recipe uses cinnamon. I have made it both with and without the cinnamon and find I prefer it without. If you choose to add the cinnamon the recipe suggests 1 tbsp. This cake is also suitable for freezing.
