      Notes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      I\u2019ve always used my Apfelkuchen recipe and made Pflaumenuchen when plums are in season. This year here in Alabama we are having such good plums from Chilton County, that I\u2019m baking more Pflaumenkuchen than usual, which gives me chance to experiment with the recipe. First, I was trying to reduce the sugar. Through multiple iterations I ended up with 170g instead of 240g. It\u2019s still sweet enough, but I feel I could not reduce it further without affecting the structure of dough. The next thing I changed was flour. I actually ran out of cake flour and used Spelt for the last cake. That was a clear winner. So, Spelt it is going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Spelt is an ancient grain that was never hybridized. It likely is much healthier for that reason alone. In addition, the organic Spelt from Janie\u2019s Mill, which I\u2019m using, also has a 100% extraction rate. It\u2019s subtle nutty flavor goes very well with the plums.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
