Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sliced almonds
  • 1 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1 1/2 cups almond meal
  • 1 1/2 cups spelt flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 eggs
  • 4-5 very ripe prune red, or black plums, halved and pitted
  • 1 pint of heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Generously grease & flour a 10" springform pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a small pan, combine the sliced almonds and 1/3 cup pure maple syrup. Cook over medium-high heat just until the maple syrup begins to boil, then remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the coconut oil, almond meal, spelt flour, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, and eggs. Stir together just until mixed. Pour into the prepared pan.
  • Press the plum halves lightly into the batter. Cover the remaining top of the batter with the mapled almonds.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or just until the cake is set. Remove and cool completely before popping your cake from the springform pan.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the cream and powdered sugar just until the cream comes to a very soft peak. Serve over slices of the cake with a mug of your favorite hot drink
