Description

I love this plum cake! The combination of juicy plums, the fluffy dough and the crunchy hazelnut meringue topping is simply irresistible. The preparation in the Thermomix® makes baking super easy and fast. The cake is perfect for the autumnal coffee table, a cozy brunch or just when you feel like something sweet. The hazelnut slices give the meringue a great texture and a nutty taste. An absolute must for all plum cake fans! And the best part: it's ready in no time.
