Upside-down pie with plums and walnuts
12 servings
60 minutes
Plum and walnut upside-down cake is an elegant blend of caramelized fruits and airy dough, inspired by European culinary traditions. The roots of such cakes go deep into French cuisine, where the famous 'Tarte Tatin' first captivated gourmets with its inverted presentation. Caramel-soaked plums give the dessert a rich sweet-sour flavor, while the nuts add a delicate crunchy texture and nutty aroma. This cake is perfect for cozy family tea times or festive dinners. Serve it warm, complemented by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a gentle cream sauce to further enhance its rich flavor nuances.
