Equipment
- Stand mixer / Hand mixer
- Round baking tin (26 cm)
Ingredients
Dough
- 250 g wheat flour
- 100 g sugar
- 100 ml oil
- 100 ml milk
- 3 eggs (at room temperature)
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 450 g plums
Crumble
- 50 g instant oats
- 40 g butter (cold)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- handful of pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Wash the plums, remove the stones and cut them into smaller pieces.
- In a bowl, combine all the crumble ingredients: chopped butter, instant oats, sugar and chopped pecans. Set the prepared crumble aside.
- In a medium bowl mix dry ingredients (except for the sugar): wheat flour, baking powder and baking soda.
- Using a stand mixer (or hand mixer) beat the whole eggs until fluffy (about 6-8 minutes). Continue mixing and add the sugar, spoon at the time (about 3-4 minutes). Continue mixing and very slowly pour the oil into the batter.
- Reduce the speed to low, add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Finally, slowly pour in the milk and mix until a smooth batter is formed.
- Pour the batter into a round baking tin with a removable bottom, lined with baking paper. Put the plum pieces on top. Finally, cover everything with the crumble. Bake your cake for about 50-60 minutes or until a dry toothpick. It's best to check before the end of baking and adjust the time if necessary.
