Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 25 minutes
Total time: 1 hour
Servings: 8
Necessary ingredients:
- 125 g butter (about 1/2 cup, at room temperature)
- 125 g granulated sugar (1/2 cup)
- 125 g flour (about 1 cup)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- 1 packet of clear cake gel (for a glossy finish)
- 1 packet of tart cream (or vanilla pudding)
- 250 ml milk (about 1 cup)
- Plums (fresh or canned, depending on the season and preferences)
Preparing the plum tart:
1. Preparing the batter: In a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and vanilla sugar. Mix the dry ingredients well with a spatula or fork to combine evenly.
2. Adding wet ingredients: Add the cubed butter and eggs to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to mix the batter for about 2 minutes until it becomes smooth and fluffy. It is important not to overmix to avoid a dense crust.
3. Baking the crust: Grease a tart pan with a little butter or oil and pour in the prepared batter. Ensure it is evenly distributed. Place the pan in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) and bake for 25 minutes, or until the crust passes the toothpick test. Remove it from the oven and let it cool completely.
4. Preparing the cream: Meanwhile, prepare the cream according to the instructions on the packet. Usually, this requires mixing with milk and boiling until you achieve a creamy consistency. Let the cream cool slightly.
5. Assembling the tart: Once the crust has cooled, pour the cream evenly over its surface. Arrange the sliced plums on top, either in sections or whole, depending on your preference.
6. Finishing the tart: Prepare the cake gel according to the instructions on the packet and pour it over the plums. This will provide a glossy appearance and help secure the fruit.
7. Cooling: Let the plum tart chill for about 30 minutes so that the gelatin sets and makes it easier to slice.
Helpful tip
For an even richer flavor and texture, you can add some spices to the batter, such as cinnamon or nutmeg. Also, if you enjoy stronger flavors, try adding a little almond or rum extract to the tart cream.
Nutritional benefits
Plums are an excellent source of fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. They contribute to healthy digestion and can help maintain heart health. Additionally, butter and eggs provide healthy fats and essential proteins.
