almond flour pudding cake, grain-free

A friend gave me Italian blue plums from their tree. Among other things, I made this grain-free pudding cake. It turned out delicious if I do say so myself.

 

-4 to 5 cups fruit of your choice, prepared and sweetened to taste [e.g. plums, peaches, cherries]

-3 eggs, separated

-3 Tbsp cold water

-1/3 cup sugar

-½ cup arrowroot starch [or cornstarch]

-5/8 cup almond flour [sometimes called almond meal]

-½ tsp baking powder

 

-In large bowl, beat egg whites and cold water till soft peaks form. Continue beating, adding the sugar gradually, until the mixture is stiff.

-In small bowl, beat egg yolks till thick and lemon-colored.

-In another small bowl, mix starch, almond flour, and baking powder.

-Fold the egg yolks into the egg-white mixture.

-Then fold in the dry ingredients from the third bowl to form a smooth batter.

-Put the fruit into a large casserole dish. Pour the batter over the top.

-Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour or until toothpick comes out almost clean.
