Cooking through la Tartine Gourmande: Chocolate and plum almond cake

Ina und ich sind endlich wieder da, um weiter aus La Tartine Gourmande zu kochen!

Es ist jetzt offiziell Herbst und damit Zeit für Kuchen mit Schoki und Zwetschgen/Pflaumen! Deshalb haben wir den Kuchen von S. 233 ausgesucht: Chocolate and plum almond cake. Uns hat der sehr gut gemundet! Und er wäre noch besser, wenn man mehr Pflaumen/Zwetschgen verwendet, als in dem Rezept angegeben sind (popelige 2 Stück). Ein wirklich köstlicher Kuchen, getoppt mit leckeren Pflaumen. Da gibt es nichts mehr hinzuzufügen.

Ina and I are back, after some vacation and some internet issues.

As it’s now officially autumn, we chose a cake with chocolate and plums. We liked the cake a lot! It would be even better, if you use more plums, than stated in the recipe (which are only 2). A really good cake, topped with delicious plums. There’s nothing more to say about that cake!

I made those a while ago, but I never made it to post them. Now before the summer is all over again and plums are still in season I have to give it out to you. The galettes are easy to make. Only dough, plums and sugar, that’s it!

I’m looking forward to autumn, but I also want to catch the last summer fruit, before there will be a long cold time without those delicious enjoyments. So tomorrow I want to get some pumpkins and apples at the market as well as some peaches (if I’m lucky). Stuck between summer and autumn is a really good time for yummy food. So preserve the summer and enjoy the upcoming autumn. Make ice cream with summer fruit, freeze fruit puree for the winter, can tomatoes or as I’ve done it recently: make your own pasta sauce and can it! There will be a post about that soon! I hope I got you a bit inspired. I need that inspiration too. Autumn food is so tempting.

So make the dough, then go buy some plums. When you’re back the dough is chilled and ready for rolling out. Assemble the galettes and bake. Enjoy them warm with a scoop of ice cream or cooled down every time you are passing by. I know what I’m talking about. They didn’t survived the day after baking!
