This is a cheat’s variation of the classic French tart and makes an impressive pudding to serve with lots of cream, ice cream or crème fraîche.
This is a cheat’s variation of the classic French tart and makes an impressive pudding to serve with lots of cream, ice cream or crème fraîche.
You will need a 23cm (9in) round, fixed-base cake tin, at least 5cm (2in) deep. Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/Gas 7.
Sprinkle the sugar over the base of the tin in an even layer. Arrange the plums on top of the sugar, cut-side down.
Roll out the marzipan to a round slightly smaller than the tin and place on top of the plums.
Roll out the pastry just a little bit bigger so that it is the width of the cake tin. Place the cake tin on top of the pastry. Using the tin as a guide, cut around the tin to make a circle, then lay the pastry over the plums and tuck the edges of the pastry down around the fruit. Make a small cross in the top of the pastry to let the steam escape during baking.
Bake for 25–30 minutes until the pastry is crisp and golden and the plums are tender. Loosen the edges of the tarte then turn out on to a plate and serve.
