  • 500 g Plums
  • 125 g Macadamia nuts
  • 4 TABLESPOONS Breadcrumbs

  • 25 g Dark chocolate
  • 7-10 Tbsp Cling film

Directions

  1. 1

    Put flour, butter in flakes, salt, sugar, egg and 1 tablespoon cold water in a bowl. Knead first with the dough hooks of the hand mixer, then with your hands to a smooth short pastry. Wrap the dough in foil and chill for about 30 minutes

  2. 2

    Wash, halve and stone the plums. Coarsely chop the nuts. Roll out 2/3 of the shortcrust pastry on a floured work surface in a rectangular shape (approx. 24 x 34 cm) and line a greased rectangular tart tin (20 x 30 cm) dusted with flour. Sprinkle the base with breadcrumbs and place the plums on the base with the cut surface facing down. Sprinkle the plums with honey

  3. 3

    Roll out the rest of the shortcrust pastry into a rectangular shape (approx. 20 x 30 cm), cover the plums with it and press on. Sprinkle the macadamia nuts over it and press them down. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for approx. 45 minutes, remove from oven and let cool on a cake rack

  4. 4

    Chop the chocolate and melt over a warm water bath. Decorate the cooled cake with the chocolate in strips. Whipped cream tastes good with it
