Steps for Plum Cake with Almond Cream
Preheat the oven to 356°F. Lightly butter a round cake mold, 9 inches in diameter. Roll out the puff pastry, making it adhere to the bottom and sides, gently pressing with your fingers; fold the excess dough inward. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent it from puffing up, bake the pastry for 15 minutes to make it crispy and golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
Prepare the filling. Place the cracked eggs in a bowl with the sugar, chopped almonds, and cream. Beat vigorously with electric whisks or by hand if preferred, until obtaining a smooth and lump-free mixture.
Wash and dry the plums, cut them in half, remove the pit. Pour the filling onto the pastry base and cover the surface with the plum halves, placing them skin-side up. Bake for 25 minutes at 356°F until the mixture has set. Remove from the oven and let it cool
Place a pan over medium heat, add the sliced almonds and toast for a few moments, stirring with a wooden spoon. Then sprinkle them over the plum cake and serve
