• 1.5 tbsp breadcrumbs
• 2-3 tbsp flaked almonds

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 26 cm springform pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Wash, pit, and quarter the 600 g plums. Set aside.

5. Transfer about two-thirds of the dough mixture to the prepared springform pan. Press it evenly onto the base and slightly up the sides to form the cake base.
6. To the remaining one-third of the dough in the mixing bowl, add 1-2 tbsp raw cane sugar. Mix 5 sec / Speed 4 to create the crumble topping.
7. Sprinkle 1.5 tbsp breadcrumbs evenly over the pastry base in the pan. Arrange the prepared plums on top of the breadcrumbs.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
