Report on Plum Torte with Cardamom Cream

[sylvia]

The torte was baked last evening we had it for dessert tonight. The cake is very, very dense in texture.......much like a pound cake. I served it as is and my daughter asked if we had any whipping cream.......the cake certainly needed something to lighten it up. She whipped up some cream with cardamom and it hit the spot.

I won't be making this cake again as I have a much nicer plum cake recipe that has a lighter texture.

Sylvia, try my yeast Plum Kuchen. It is just fabulous.

My old Czech neighbors used to say it was just like being back home.

Are the egg whites and sugar beaten with a mixer or just a whisk?

 

[sylvia]

Use a whisk to beat the egg whites.

Melissa, yum! The Plum Kuchen looks amazing.

Melissa, How much lemon rind? This sounds really good.

 

[melissa-dallas]

Just a little, about a tsp. I edited the recipe.
