Ingredients
- 200 g Almond flour
- 50 g Whey protein powder (vanilla)
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 100 g Unsalted butter, softened
- 100 g Brown sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 100 ml Milk
- 150 g Plums, pitted and chopped
- 30 g Almond slices
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9-inch cake tin and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Step 6
Gently fold in the chopped plums, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the batter.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the almond slices evenly over the top.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 9
Allow the cake to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then remove it from the tin and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
