Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 3 tablespoons coconut flour
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 3 large eggs
• 0.5 cup honey
• 0.25 cup coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 4 cups fresh plums

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan with coconut oil and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir together until well mixed.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk the eggs. Add in the honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until fully combined and a smooth batter forms.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and spread it evenly.

Step 6

Wash and dry the plums, then slice them in half and remove the pits. Cut each half into quarters.

Step 7

Arrange the plum slices on top of the batter in concentric circles, gently pressing them into the dough.

Step 8

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool completely before serving. Enjoy your Paleo Pflaumenkuchen with a dollop of coconut whipped cream if desired.
