The secret to a soft and moist plum cake lies in the right amount of jam, which not only adds sweetness, but also moisture to the dessert, creating a perfect combination of texture and flavour.

Each slice will have a delicious heart of jam.

Ingredients:
– 200 g 00 flour*
– 1 sachet of baking powder
– 200 g cooking cream
– 50 g sunflower seed oil
– 200 g granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
– 120 g “La Nicchia” strawberry tree and lavender jam for the filling
– 200 g icing sugar
– 1 pinch of salt
– 3 tablespoons of water
– 120 g “La Nicchia” strawberry tree and lavender jam for the top
– to taste mini meringues

First, butter and line a plum cake mold with baking paper.

With a whisk, whisk the eggs with the sugar and salt until the mixture is white and fluffy.

Add the oil and cream while continuing to mix.

Now add the sifted flour, then the yeast and mix until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.

At this point, pour half the mixture into the mold and place the strawberry tree and lavender jam "La Nicchia" in the central part. Cover with the other half of dough.

Cook in a preheated oven at 190°c in static mode for 18/20 minutes, then lower to 175°c for another 15 minutes to finish cooking, leave it moist and above all not to let it burn on the surface. If you see it is getting too dark, uncover with a sheet of foil.

Remove from the oven, leave to cool for 5 minutes, then remove from the mold and leave to cool completely by placing it on a wire rack.

In the meantime, prepare the icing by placing the icing sugar and water in a bowl, mix well with a spatula until the icing is smooth.

Place the strawberry tree and lavender jam “La Nicchia” in a piping bag.

Now take the completely cold plum cake and sprinkle it with the icing and then with a generous dose of “La Nicchia” strawberry tree and lavender jam. Decorate with small meringues.

The Plum Cake with strawberry tree jam and lavender is ready to be enjoyed.
