Ingredients

  • Crust:
  • 6 oz flour of choice (whole wheat/wheat/spelt)
  • 1.4 oz almond flour
  • 2.5 oz butter, cold
  • 1.4 oz @myrawjoy cashew butter *
  • 1.8 oz birch sugar (or any other refined sweetener)
  • 1 egg
  • Filling:
  • 14 oz Magerquark (similar to very stiff Greek yogurt with 0.2% fat)
  • 5.3 oz cream cheese (the creamier, the more fat it has)
  • 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
  • 2.5 oz birch sugar (or any other sweetener)
  • 1.2 oz vanilla custard powder (you can replace it with starch + vanilla paste)
  • extra vanilla *optional
  • Plums:
  • 5.3 oz plums, fresh or frozen
  • 5 fl oz water
  • 1/2 tsp starch
  • 1-2 tsp sweetener of choice

Instructions

  1. Start with the crust: Mix together the flour, almond flour, and birch sugar. Add the cold butter and cashew butter, kneading until you get a crumbly texture. Add the egg and knead until a dough forms. Let it chill in the fridge for 20-30 minutes. While it rests, grease the baking pan and preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Roll out the dough into a circle about 28-30 cm in diameter and place it in the pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
  3. For the filling: Blend the Magerquark, cream cheese, eggs, and birch sugar until smooth. Take 3-4 tbsp of the mixture and combine it with the custard powder in a small bowl. Mix both until smooth. Transfer the mixture to the pan and bake at 170°C (340°F) for 30 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 145°C (293°F) and bake for another 40 minutes until the top is solid but slightly wobbly. Let it cool completely.
  4. For the plums, cook fresh or frozen plums with water, starch, and sweetener. Once cooled to room temperature, place them on top of the cake. Enjoyyy! 🥰
