Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces ripe plums
- 2 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup erythritol
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.25 cup slivered almonds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
Wash the plums and cut them in half to remove the pits. Slice into thin wedges and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
Arrange the plum slices on top of the batter in a circular pattern, slightly pressing them into the batter.
Optionally, sprinkle slivered almonds over the top for added crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 to 40 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the Keto Pflaumenkuchen warm with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
