In order to prepare a tender dough, you first need to grind the sugar and butter. Set aside 2 tbsp of the total sugar. l. and leave it for later: we will need it for sprinkling.
Break two eggs and a pinch of salt into the dough one at a time, stirring thoroughly.

The dough for the pie should be light, tender, very homogeneous and elastic, the consistency should be thick sour cream, approximately, like for pancakes.
Line the baking dish with parchment and put soft dough on it, smooth the surface with a spoon. It is better to use a mold with detachable sides - this way it will be easier to get the finished cake, being sure that it will not fall apart.
Preparing plums. They need to be rinsed, drained so that the cake is not too wet, remove the bones. We spread the fruits on the dough with the cut side up. First, lay out on the outer circle, then cover the dough with plums in the middle of the baking dish.
Sprinkle the plums with aromatic sugar, which we left in advance, mixing it with ground cinnamon. When the pie is in the oven, the plums will be juiced and the sugar will be caramelized.
We send the cake to a preheated oven and bake at 180 degrees for about 50 minutes. A rosy crust is a signal that the dessert is ready.
Let the finished cake cool slightly and remove it from the mold.
We serve a fragrant and juicy cake with plums, pour tea and invite everyone to the table.
