Autumn joy: Plum cake
Hello :)
Autumn is just an amazing season, with the richness of goodies we can find and the mild days to bask in the sun.
So for those quiet moments when you just crave for something sweet here is a quick and easy recipe for plum cake:
Ingredients:
5-6 plums
5 eggs
100 gr (1 cup) of flour
10 spoons sugar
vanilla sugar or essence
4 spoons oil (sunflower)
1 tablespoon of baking powder
Baking time: 25-30min; Prep time: 15 min
Wash and cut the plums into small piece and then cover them with 2-3 spoons of sugar.
Eggs are whisked with the rest of sugar until they triple the volume. Then you can slowly add the flour and incorporate it into the eggs mix. Now it is the time to add the oil and the baking powder too.
On the tray for baking, lay a thing layer of oil and then flour. Add a first row of fruits and then the batter. Add the rest of fruits and the rest of batter and it's ready to go into the oven.
The oven needs to be preheated at 200 degrees C.
I baked it for 25-30 min at 200 degrees C and then just checked it with a toothpick.
The result is amazing: a soft and extremely flavoured cake, the nice aroma filled the whole house.
Enjoy!

Tomatoes soup - a delicious recipe
Long time has passed since I posted here. well, now the time has come for a new recipe, something light for summer days, because it can be served both cold and hot - the one and only Tomatoes soup!
this soup has so many recipes and ways to cook it, but I'd rather use fresh tomatoes and keep as much as possible from the fruit itself. Yes, tomato is considered a fruit :)
Ingredients:
2 kilo tomatoes
celery
2 onions
1 carrot
1 parsnip
1 spoon of olive oil
spices (pepper, salt, thyme)
1 glass of water
cooking time: 1h
First, we make a soup using the vegetables listed above. In the same time, we need to prepare the tomatoes: we want them without peels and any hard part found inside. for this we have two options: either we boil them in hot water until the peel is cracking or we put them in a tray in the oven till similar result is obtained.
We add the vegetable soup over tomatoes and boil for another 10min, adding the spices too. At the end, we add some thyme.
It can be served with toasted bread with garlic.
It is so tasty that I usually go for the 2nd bowl :)
