A wonderful, tender, juicy yet delicate cake baked with almond flour. This cake is a great way of using wonderful sweet and tart plums and combining them with lovely crunchy and slightly nutty flavor from the poppy seeds. Since almond flour is rich in fat this cake needs no additional oil or butter, but still turns out tender and moist. This cake is fresh, light, tasty yet not too sweet, which is perfect for this cake not to make it overwhelming. If you prefer a sweeter cake you can of course add more granulated sweetener. The plums on top add a wonderful extra sweet yet tart taste, also making the cake more moist and tender, but also provide a nice texture to it. Serve this cake as a sweet treat or dessert. It is both gluten, grain, sugar and oil free.
A few tips:
- Don’t use too tart or sour plums. Try to find plums that are sweet with a slight tart flavor.
- Do not over mix the batter, mix just until incorporated.
- The amount of sweetener can be adapted according to taste. I prefer this cake less sweet, but if you want to make it a bit sweeter you can add more granulated sweetener. Taste the batter and add more sweetener according to taste.
- Let the cake cool completely before removing it from the spring form.
