Prep Time20 minsCook Time25 minsTotal Time45 mins
Ingredients
 4 Egg (whites and yolks separated)
 100 Sugar
 1 vanilla extract
 130 Flour
 25 Sunflower oil
 300 Plum
 15 soft butter for the mold
Directions
1

Preheat the oven to 180°C, static heat.

2

Butter the edges of a 24 cm round mold and line the bottom with parchment paper.

3

Prepare the fruit. Wash and dry the plums. Cut them in half, remove the pit, then cut each half into 4 pieces.

4

Prepare the batter. In a bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, mixing a little between each addition to incorporate it. The result should be a dense and glossy meringue that forms a peak.

5

Add the egg yolks and the vanilla extract and blend briefly to incorporate.

6

Add half of the flour, mix briefly on low speed to incorporate. Then do the same with the oil and finish with the remaining flour.

7

Pour the batter into the mould and smooth the surface.

8

Place the pieces of plums on top in a rosette pattern, with the tips facing upward.

9

Bake for 25 minutes or until the surface is golden and a wooden skewer comes out clean.

10

To finish, let cool slightly, then unmold and sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
