Instructions

Working time approx. 45 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 45 minutes

without edge and with meringue topping

For the shortcrust pastry, sift together the flour and baking powder and make a well in the pan. Add the egg whites and sugar, then place the margarine pieces in the floured rim. Knead everything together and chill for about 30 minutes. Grease a 26cm springform pan with margarine or butter only on the bottom. Roll out the shortcrust pastry on a lightly floured surface until it is round and not too thin (it should not be much larger than the springform pan) and cut out a round base using a cake ring. Place the cut-out shortcrust pastry in the greased springform pan and preheat the oven to 180°C. For the cheese mixture, put the cream, milk, sugar, egg yolks, salt, custard powder, and vanilla sugar in a bowl and mix with a hand mixer. Wash the plums, remove the stones, and cut into small pieces. Mix the fruit pieces with the cheese mixture, then spread it over the shortcrust pastry base and smooth it out. For the meringue, beat egg whites until stiff, then add the sugar. Beat the milk, egg yolks, vanilla sugar, and flour until fluffy and fold into the beaten egg whites. Pour onto the cheese mixture and spread with a brush. Bake the cake for approx. 60 minutes. After 20 minutes, use a knife to cut diagonally around the edge of the cheese mixture about 2 cm deep into the center and continue baking. Turn off the oven and leave to stand for approx. 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. Use a knife to loosen the edges of the tin all around and remove them. Remove the cake from the base of the tin and carefully place it on a cake plate using a cake server. Dust with icing sugar and garnish with the plums.
