Hello my Dearest Foodies,
My spelt baking continues after those tasty EMPANADAS I made few days ago. However, today I have for you a sweet, yet guilt free treat, you can have for breakfast or anytime you like. Just don't eat the whole cake by yourself all at once. Trust me, I am having hard time not too, lol.
By the way, you can also use a different fruit, if you like, although these plums are very yummy. I bought whole basket and I used only few for the cake, so I am still munching on them. I am not sure what kind they are, because I never had them before. Inside, they are red as beet root and very juicy. I highly recommend, if you can find them in your local market. They also very reasonably priced too.
I really hope you will like this yummy dessert and I wish you very joyful week 🌸💜🌸
