Stone fruit season is slowly transitioning from sweet and juicy peaches or nectarines to the joy of mirabelle and damson plums. This is one of my one shot recipes, where I just had the idea of combining mirabelle plums and almonds, and it turned exactly out how I had imagined it. The slightly acid yet sweet mirabelles perfectly match with the almonds. It's definitely not the last time I made this cake.
Mirabelles are local fruits and I was especially looking forward to their arrival this year. It's very funny because for a very very long time I did not eat any these lovely little fruits. Somehow I just dismissed them from my pre-autumn fruit list. Last year, one of my friends gave me a jar of very delicious mirabelle jam that she made with the fruit from her garden. So that was the time I decided there should be more recipes with mirabelles on my blog. So be ready for more to come!
For one cake you need:
200g ground almonds
100g flour
1,5 ts baking powder
160g butter
160g sugar
2 eggs
280-300g mirabelles
Preheat the oven to 180°
In one bowl whisk together the butter and sugar until well combined and fluffy. Add the eggs one by one until you get an even mixture. In another bowl mix all the dry ingredients then add them to the batter. Mix again until you get a smooth batter.
Pit the mirabelle, cut them in half. Pour the batter into a buttered cake tin, then place the plums on top. Bake for 40 minutes, cover the cake with baking paper if necessary and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes.
Enjoy!!!
