Yields1 Serving

3 plums, pitted and sliced

1 cup blackberries

3 Tbsp sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla

a shake of cinnamon

3/4 cup icing sugar

1/2 cup ground almonds

3 Tbsp all-purpose flour

1/8 tsp salt

2-3 large egg whites

1/3 cup butter, melted

Preheat the oven to 400F. Put the plums and blackberries into a bowl and sprinkle with the sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the icing sugar, ground almonds, flour and salt. Whisk the eggs until they’re frothy; add to the icing sugar mixture along with the melted butter.

Pour into a buttered or otherwise greased pie plate or 8 or 9-inch baking dish, and top with the fruit, scattering any excess sugar (or pouring juices) overtop. Bake for 45-50 minutes, covering with foil for the final 10 minutes, until the cake is deep golden and the fruit is bubbling. Serves 4-6.
