Ingredients
 

  • 500 g mirabelle plums
  • 50 ml amaretto
  • 125 g flour
  • 1 piece vanilla bean
  • 50 g butter - salted
  • 50 g powdered sugar
  • 4 pieces eggs - large eggs
  • 100 g granulated sugar
  • 250 ml whole milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F / 180°C.
  • Cut the vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape out the vanilla seeds from both halves using the back of a knife.
  • Combine the granulated sugar, vanilla seeds and eggs. Whisk vigorously until thoroughly blended. Add the flour, amaretto and milk and continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous. Make sure there are no lumps.
  • Place half of the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave it on high until melted. This should take no more then 20 seconds. Add the unpitted plums to the bowl and stir until they're all coated with butter.
  • Grease a 10" / 25 cm baking pan with the rest of the butter. Dust the pan with powdered sugar, then shake the pan to distribute the sugar evenly. Discard any excess sugar that did not stick to the butter.
  • Place the plums evenly in the pan and carefully pour in the batter. Make sure the plums are not covered by the batter.
  • Bake for about 35 minutes until golden brown, caramelized and just set. Enjoy warm or let it cool down further, if you can resist... Dust lightly with powdered sugar!
