Plum and Blueberry Galette
Plum and Blueberry Galette
Before popping into the oven
This recipe is adapted from the book Nigella Express which uses nectarines instead of plums.
Since the nectarines in my fridge are rock hard, I thought plums would do the trick, and it did. This is the type of dessert that you can whip up in less than 5 minutes when you have those last minute dinner guests...or when youre just craving for something sweet after dinner and have nothing else in the fridge to satisfy that craving...
After the first slice...
I made this recipe twice after my first time. I didnt add any cream to the base the first time because I wanted it to be the healthier version! However later on, I found that adding cream completes it as it goes so well with the tartness of the fruit...

Plum and Blueberry Yoghurt Cake
Plum and Blueberry Yoghurt Cake
When Caroline announced that this months AlphaBakes letter is Y,I immediately thought of yoghurt. I love baking with yoghurt and tend to use it in muffins and banana bread. I found this great recipe online for a Peach and Blueberry Greek Yoghurt Cake so I decided to give it a go. Plums were on sale in the supermarket so I used plums instead of peaches and it worked beautifully. Im sure nectarines or even pears would work well too. The cake is really colourful and visually appealing. The sponge is light and the added fruit on top makes it feel almost healthy.
Im sending this to AlphaBakes hosted by Caroline from Caroline Makes this month and myself on alternate months. The letter is Y for yoghurt.

The only changes I made was to reduce the amount of sugar, replace the peaches with plums and adding in some brown sugar before baking.

56g butter, softened
180g caster sugar

- Grease and line a 23cm diameter springform tin.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda in a bowl.
- In the bowl of a mixer, beat the butter and sugar together for a few minutes.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time and mix well.
