Mirabelle Cake with Caramelised Almond Topping

A rich, buttery, moist mirabelle (or any fruit) cake, adapted from here and here, topped with a crisp caramel-almond Florentine-like topping, which was inspired by a popular German Bienenstich, is simply too good to miss in life - great for afternoon tea or morning coffee. I used mirabelles, but any other seasonal fruit would be fantastic too.

 

Mirabelle Cake with Caramelised Almond Topping


inspired and adapted from essen und trinken and living at home
CakeCaramelised Honey Almond Topping
  • 400 g Mirabelles, halved and pitted
  • 250 g White spelt flour (German #630)
  • 50 g Rolled oats
  • 12 g Baking powder
  • 50 g Raw cane sugar (or up to 150 g if you have a sweet tooth)
  • A pinch of salt
  • 125 g Butter, softened
  • 250 ml Buttermilk
  • 2 Eggs, medium
  • 60 g Butter
  • 80 g Honey
  • 3 tbsp Cream
  • 120 g Almond slices or sticks
  1. Wash and stone the mirabelles. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a 24-26 cm / 10-11 inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease with a little butter.
  2. Put the spelt flour, oats, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Roughly mix in the softened butter with a fork. Whisk the buttermilk with the eggs and mix in 3 portions with a hand mixer for about 10 seconds each. Don't over mix the batter or the cake won't be tender.
  3. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Arrange the mirabelle halves on top.
  4. For the topping, place butter, honey and cream to the boil. Mix in the almond flakes or sticks and remove from the heat.
  5. Spread the glaze evenly over the mirabelles. Bake the cake in the lower third of the oven for 45-55 minutes until the cake is cooked through and the top is golden brown. Remove the cake from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the outside of the cake to release the topping from the pan. Carefully remove the sides of the pan and set the cake aside for 1 hour or until cooled completely. Serve with whipped cream if desired.

Plum cakes are one of my favourites. Your caramelised almond topping sounds wonderful. A bit like florentines, but without the chocolate.
