Each housewife has a baking recipe, which is easy to cook and can be served even to the most demanding guests. Most often these are berry and fruit pies. And this is not surprising. Only they can combine different tastes and fillings, be sand, puff and biscuit. And, most likely, the most popular among them will be a plum pie recipe . Perhaps because he also looks very beautiful. If someone else does not have a recipe for such baking in the notebook, it is worth entering at least one option into it.
And perhaps the first thing you should try is a sponge-sand
plum cake. The recipe for its preparation is simple, but it tastes soft and crumbly. First you need to prepare a
shortbread dough. To do this, pour half a glass of sugar, 2 cups of wheat flour into a cup, add 125 g of chilled and cut into pieces butter and rub in the crumbs with your hands. In it, mix 1 egg and 50 ml of cold water, knead a cool and elastic dough. Form a ball out of it. Put in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Put in the form and knead the dough with your hands, forming high sides. First put the form with the dough for 10 minutes in the freezer, and then in the oven preheated to 220
0 for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, make a biscuit dough. To do this, beat 2 eggs with a glass of sugar until the mass doubles. Add 90 g of butter softened at room temperature, whisk again. Now pour 50 ml of milk and vegetable oil. Add 1.5 cups of flour along with 10 g of baking powder and mix gently with a wooden spatula with movements from top to bottom. Stir in it a little plums, cut into small cubes. On a shortbread dough, put plums, cut into 4 parts, then pour the biscuit dough and place the remaining fruits on top. Now we send the cake for another 40 minutes in the oven.
Of course, this is far from the only recipe for plum cake. It is very tasty when added with cinnamon and lemon zest. For this pie you need to beat with a mixer 250 g of soft butter, a pinch of salt, a bag of vanilla sugar, a tablespoon of cinnamon and zest of 1 lemon, add 100 g of powdered sugar and yolks from 5 eggs. Beat again and add 250 g of sifted flour. Beat the remaining proteins separately with 100 g of sugar until soft peaks appear. Gently mix them into the dough. Pour it into a mold that is well greased with oil. Put the plum, cut in half, and sprinkle with almond crumbs. Bake such a pie for 35 minutes at a temperature of 170
0 . Allow to cool and garnish with icing sugar. This plum pie recipe may be confused by the lack of baking powder or soda. However, thanks to well-
whipped proteins and an oil mixture, it turns out to be tender and lush.
And, of course, you must have in your notebook a recipe for a plum pie with curd filling. For the test, mix in a deep cup 400 g of flour, 40 g of cocoa, a pinch of salt and soda, 100 g of sugar, add 10 tbsp. tablespoons of olive oil and, gradually pouring cold water, knead a smooth dough that does not stick to your hands. Put it in the refrigerator while the curd filling is being prepared. For her, beat with a mixer in a smooth creamy mass half a kilo of cottage cheese, three quarters of a glass of granulated sugar and half a glass of sour cream. Pour the mixture over the dough. Garnish with plum halves on top. Bake the resulting pie for 35 minutes at 180 degrees in the oven.
But actually it doesnโt matter what kind of plum cake will be served to the guests. A recipe with a photo of the finished dish is sure to be asked from the hostess of the evening. And this will be the main award for her.
