Almond cake with dried plums by Gui Gedda

Thank wonderful cake is one more recipe from Gui Gedda. 

As you know I have his book, but unfortunately there are not enough pictures, so I can't really be inspired with the recipes, even I'm sure they are just great! So I mostly cook, when I see pictures of Belonika. There are lot of them, they are all so sunny, that I always get a desire to run to a shop and start cooking immediately! This cake I did already several times - it's just great!

Here is find modified version. 


So we need:

- 500 g dried plums

- 4 eggs

- backing powder 

- 100 g almond powder

- 100 g sugar (i used brown)

- 150-200 creme de la creme (schlag sahne)

Mix sugar and 2 eggs and 2 whites of the eggs, add backing powder, almond powder and mix every thing again. Here as well as in all backing recipes Kitschen Aid is a Mast Have. It just makes you life so much easier... Than you beat up the cream and add it too. Dried plums cut into 4 pieces and add at the very end. I was using a 25-cm form like an the picture below. Backing time 50 minutes with 170 grad. 

It's really worth trying! Just do it (c)   =)
