In the last post I told you that even today’s recipe would have as special guest my beloved rhubarb !
So, as promised, here is the recipe for a soft cake with summer plums and rhubarb!
This cake, very simple and quick to prepare with the “muffin method” has some almonds as ingredient: if you remember, I told you that almonds, in my opinion, are a dry fruit that goes delightfully with rhubarb.
In the cake mixture we also find rhubarb, summer plums (I used a native variety that is small, firm, not very watery and very fragrant) and dry cranberries!
Why is this cake so special?
The special side of this cake is all about fruits: I did not use raw fruit, I have first cook it few minutes with honey!
Just 5 minutes, just the time to create a delicious sauce that I decided to use to finish the dessert to dress the fresh fruit I put in the center to decorate it!
What do you think? Do you like the idea?
Believe me when I tell you that perfume is wonderful! Indescribable from how intense and rich it is!
We liked a lot this cake and I really hope you’ll want to try it as well as a dessert for the weekend!
Hugs and kisses!
