Almond Sugar Plum Kuchen

from Almond Sugar-Plum Kuchen, the Week of September 1, 2013

Sugar Plums, or more sensibly, Italian Prune Plums, may very well be my favorite fruit. August and September are pretty much the only months you can find them in abundance. Beyond just nibbling on them, we always made a couple of Kuchens every year. If you can’t find these plums no worries, in September’s bounty almost any stone fruit would happily substitute in their place. This version substitutes in almond flour for half of the flour, but it doesn’t necessarily make this healthy, just a touch lower in white refined flour with a pinch extra protein. If you have a gluten-free flour blend that you love, go ahead and use that instead of the white flour to make this GF.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter, unsalted, softened at room temperature
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • ½ cup flour, white
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • 9 plums, more or less as needed
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Serving Size: 8 People

Preparation Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375.

Butter the inside of a tart or pie pan. Sprinkle with flour and shake around the pan, dumping out the excess.

Cream together the softened butter and sugar with a whisk. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the almond extract and a pinch of salt.

Fold in the white and almond flours.

Spread into a tart or pie pan. Cut the plums in half or slice if substituting a larger stone fruit such as peaches.

Place the fruit on top and press lightly into the batter.

Bake for 35-40 minutes. Cool.

Sprinkle powdered sugar on top through a wire mesh sifter or through a fork.
