The ring cake with fresh plums is a dessert that takes me back in time, to the afternoons spent in my grandmother's kitchen. She, with floured hands and a sweet smile, prepared this fragrant ring cake, using the plums from her tree in the garden. It was a ritual, a moment of sharing and of scents that filled the house. This recipe is a tribute to her and to those precious memories. The plums are the undisputed stars of this dessert. Their sweet and sour flavor, which intensifies with cooking, goes perfectly with the softness of the dough. I use ripe but firm plums, preferably varieties such as Stanley or President, which maintain their shape well during cooking. Sugar, in this case, is not just a sweetener, but also helps to create a golden and crunchy crust on the surface of the ring cake. Milk and seed oil, on the other hand, give the dough the right moisture and softness, making it pleasantly soft on the palate. Finally, the chopped almonds add a crunchy note and a slightly toasted flavor that contrasts pleasantly with the sweetness of the plums. When I prepare this ring cake with the Thermomix®, I try to pay attention to some details. For example, it is important not to work the dough too much after adding the flour, to prevent it from becoming too tough. I use the spatula to gently incorporate the chopped plums, so as not to break them and to distribute them evenly in the dough. A trick for an even softer ring cake is to sift the flour before adding it to the bowl. And for a perfect browning, I brush the surface of the ring cake with a little milk before baking it. For those following a vegetarian diet, this recipe is already perfect as it is. For a vegan version, the eggs can be replaced with a mix of cornstarch and water, and vegetable milk can be used instead of cow's milk. As for the spices, a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg in the dough can add a touch of warmth and fragrance. You can also add dark chocolate chips for an even more delicious ring cake. The ring cake with fresh plums is perfect to enjoy for breakfast, accompanied by a cup of coffee or tea. It is also excellent as a snack, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a spoonful of whipped cream. It keeps well for several days, closed in an airtight container at room temperature. If you want to prepare it in advance, you can freeze the whole ring cake or in slices, and thaw it at room temperature before serving. A delicious idea is to lightly heat the slices of ring cake in a pan with a knob of butter and a pinch of brown sugar, for a quick and delicious dessert.
