Plum cakes are a symbol of the beginning of the school year for me. The fragrance of fruit dessert, plums and cinnamon make me want to wrap up warm in a soft jumper and make a cup of boiling hot tea. Although I have already prepared my first plum cake of the year, I hope that summer hasn't had its last word and we will enjoy some more warm, sunny days.

Ingredients
dough
70g of flour
2 tablespoons of minced almonds
60g of butter
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons of caster sugar
filling
500g of plums
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
2 tablespoons of brown sugar

Heat the oven up to 180C. Smooth some muffin cases with butter and sprinkle with flour.
Wash the plums, remove the stones and cube them. Mix them with the sugar and cinnamon.
Chop the butter. Add the egg yolk, flour and caster sugar. Quickly knead into a smooth dough. Cover with a plastic wrap and leave in the fridge for half an hour. Roll the dough out. Cut rings from the dough with a glass. In half of the rings cut some small holes. Cover the muffin cases with the rings without holes. Put some plums onto them. Cover them with the rings with holes. Glue the edges together. Bake for 20 minutes.
Sprinkle with the caster sugar before serving.

Enjoy your meal!
