Plum And Yogurt Tart

1. Recipe for protein plum cake

For this recipe you need Greek yogurt. This differs from the traditional one in two specific aspects, since it has a firm consistency and provides twice as much protein. Specifically, it has between 10% and 15%, compared to 6% that the common has.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs and 2 whites (there are also proteins in them).
• 200 grams of all-purpose white flour.
• 100 grams of butter or 3 tablespoons of sunflower oil.
• 1 pot of 125 grams of Greek yogurt.
• 600 grams of plums.
• 1/2 tablespoon of baking powder.
• 180 grams of muscovado sugar.
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence or orange zest.
• 1 pinch of salt.

Step by Step

• To start, wash the plums, remove the seeds and cut them into 4 parts. Once ready, reserve the pieces in a container.
• Then sift the flour along with the baking powder and salt and set it aside for use when needed.
• Next, place the butter (ideally it is smooth) and the sugar in a bowl and beat until you get a creamy mixture. For this step you can use your hands or a mixer.

• Once you have integrated both ingredients, add the eggs and whites one by one. You should beat enough each time you add the egg before continuing to add the next one.
• Now is the time to add the yogurt and vanilla essence or orange zest to the mix.
• The next step is to add the flour that you reserved at the beginning. The important thing is that you do it in two parts and with enveloping movements to avoid the formation of lumps. We advise you to use a spatula for this.
• Then, take the mixture to a greased circular mold (with butter and flour) that is between 20 and 25 centimeters in diameter.
• On top of everything add the plums. Don’t worry if they sink during the cooking process.
• To finish, take the dish to the preheated oven at 180 degrees for 50 minutes or until you poke it with a toothpick and it comes out clean.

2. Recipe suitable for diabetics

For the base

• 200 grams of whole wheat flour.
• 2 tablespoons of cornstarch.
• 100 grams of cold butter.

For the filling

• Lemon zest.
• 4 pitted red plums cut into slices.

Step by Step

• To assemble the base, mix the whole wheat flour together with the cornstarch and the baking powder in a bowl.
• Make a hole in the center and add the cold butter cut into cubes. Mix with the mixer on medium speed for 5 minutes. The idea is that a kind of sand is formed, but with integrated butter.
• Then add the egg and the sweetener and beat until it is integrated and the dough is formed. When you notice that the mixture is homogeneous, place it on the counter and stretch with a roller until it fits in a mold of 20 centimeters in diameter.

• Place this dough in the greased mold and prick with the fork so that it does not rise. If you want, you can cover with plastic wrap and place some element that makes weight.
• Bake in a preheated 170 degree oven.
• After 15 or 20 minutes it will be cooked. Take out of the oven and let it cool down.

Preparation of the filling

• Raise the temperature to 180 degrees.
• Place the sweetener, lemon zest and eggs in a bowl and beat for 5 minutes.
• Then add the sifted cornstarch, yogurt, and milk before continuing to beat.
• This mixture has a liquid consistency, so you must be careful when adding it to the already baked base.
• Bake again for another 15 minutes.
• After this time, remove from the heat and add the sliced ​​plums over the entire surface and cook again for 10 more minutes to increase the consistency of the filling and brown the fruits.
• Keep in mind that before unmolding you have to wait for it to cool down and this will prevent the base from breaking.
