Almond plum cake with crumble – notes

I invite you to try a simple and delicious Italian plum cake with almonds and crumble.

This cake is a perfect autumn bake.

It’s full of fruit, and it has a nice almond crunch.

To prepare the almond plum cake, you will need ground almonds.

You can buy them ready-made in the store.

If you don’t have them, you can finely grind regular almonds (it’s worth peeling them beforehand).

Additionally, you will need soft butter, which you mix with sugar, and natural yogurt.

To prevent a potential soggy bottom, the yogurt should be at room temperature.

I briefly warmed mine in the microwave.

For the cake, I used large hybrid plums. You can use any plums.

However, it’s better if they are not too soft, as too much juice can cause the cake to be undercooked/soggy.

I used a lot of plums and arranged them densely on the cake. Because of this, they sank deep into the cake during baking.

They were less visible, but the cake tasted delicious :)

I recommend this Italian plum cake and encourage you to try other fruit cake recipes.
