Summer fruit tea cake with almond flavoring
Cakes
Inspired from the cookbook by Cory Schreiber and Julie Richardson called Rustic Fruit Desserts. Though this tea cake originally used only stone fruits, I added some blueberries and loved the beautiful contrast and flavor it provided. Since I love to use almond meal in my baked goods I chose to substitute some of the white flour with some almond meal. To bring out the almond flavor, I added some almond extract as well. After making the adjustments, I felt the final cake was a winner. Feel free to use just plums. You can serve it with a drizzle of almond flavored icing, a dollop of sweetened whipped cream, or even some vanilla ice cream.
