When a storm shook plums from the trees, Kristina Macelytė went looking for a recipe to use them. She found one online and decided to test it before her mother’s jubilee.
Her first attempt came in a small porcelain dish. Macelytė and her sister approved the result, especially the crisp corners, and the cake later took pride of place on the celebration table.
Worthy of every indulgence, and the corners are especially deliciously crisp.
“Worthy of every indulgence,” Macelytė told Delfi’s food section, recommending the recipe and saying other fruits could also be used. She added that plums give the cake its particular charm.
The batter combines semolina soaked in kefir with sugar, melted butter, flour, baking powder, vanilla sugar and two eggs. Sliced plums go on top before the cake bakes at 180°C for 35 to 40 minutes.
You can confidently try it with other fruits too. But plums give it their own charm!
