Nectarine and Plum Cake – a Summer Delight Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 40-45 minutes Total time: 1 hour and 15 minutes Number of servings: 8-10 The perfect dessert for hot summer days, the nectarine and plum cake is a delicious choice that combines the sweetness of the fruits with a fluffy and aromatic dough. Follow the steps below to achieve a perfect result! Ingredients *For the dough:* - 600 g all-purpose flour, ideal for baking (you can also use whole wheat flour for a richer flavor) - 250 ml lukewarm milk - 1 packet of dry yeast (approx. 7 g) - 50 g melted butter (you can replace it with coconut oil for a vegan option) - 1 egg - 5 tablespoons sugar - 1 teaspoon salt *For the filling:* - 3-4 plums, halved (choose ripe plums) - 3-4 nectarines, sliced (you can also use peaches) - 1-2 tablespoons vanilla sugar *For the topping:* - 100 g cold butter, diced - 200 g flour - 100 g sugar Preparation 1. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour with the salt. In another container, dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm milk (make sure it’s not hot, to avoid killing the yeast). Add the sugar and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it forms foam. 2. Mixing the ingredients: Add the egg and melted butter to the yeast mixture, then pour this mixture over the flour. Knead the dough for 10 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth. If it’s too sticky, you can add a little more flour. 3. Proofing: Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, or until it doubles in size. 4. Preparing the filling: While the dough is rising, prepare the fruits. Mix the slices of nectarines and plums with the vanilla sugar, letting them sit for a few minutes to release their juices. 5. Assembling the cake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface, forming a sheet about 1 cm thick. Place the sheet in a greased baking pan and let it rise for another 10-15 minutes. 6. Adding the fruits: Evenly distribute the slices of nectarines and plums over the risen dough. 7. Preparing the topping: In a bowl, combine the cold butter, flour, and sugar. Use your fingers to mix the ingredients until you achieve a crumbly texture. Sprinkle this mixture over the fruits. 8. Baking: Place the pan in the oven and bake the cake for 40-45 minutes, or until it becomes golden and well-baked. 9. Cooling and serving: Let the cake cool in the pan, then cut it into portions and serve it as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious contrast. Useful tips: - You can add a pinch of cinnamon to the fruit mixture for an extra aromatic note. - If you want a healthier version, replace the sugar with natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. - The cake can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days and is delicious both cold and at room temperature. Enjoy this nectarine and plum cake, which will surely become your summer favorite!
