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

- 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.
- 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.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Arrange the mirabelle halves on top.
- For the topping, place butter, honey and cream to the boil. Mix in the almond flakes or sticks and remove from the heat.
- 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.
