Recipe: 1 - Plum Tarte Tatin Recipe »
It's plum season and I've got 5 delicious plum cakes and desserts for you. Try a classic plum tarte tatin or dainty little sugar plum tarts or plum hazelnut cakes with toasted flavours. Or bake a pear & plum crumble or a German plum streusel cake!
I promise that I'm not crazy in suggesting a tarte tatin for a quick dessert but it's true. With plums you can make a tarte tatin with 10 minutes prep! The oven takes care of the rest.
Ok these are sugar plums not regular plums but these little tarts are filled with the same custard as Portguese custard tarts so that they're gloriously custardy with a sugar plum inside them!
These little cakes are all about toasty flavours from roasted hazlenuts, a browned‑butter cake base and a browned‑butter frosting, with juicy plums folded into the batter and slices scattered on top!
When you've got the weather gradually cooling off then it's the perfect time to bring crumbles back into your life. This crumble is filled with pears and plums for a gorgeously hued crumble.
I'm going to let you in on a little secret-you don't need plums for this German Streusel plum cake, it's very versatile so all fruits will do!
So tell me Dear Reader, which plum recipe would be your first pick?
