The pie cooks very quickly, the batter is moist like a muffin, but at the same time loose and quite airy. In the season of plums to cook without fail!

Preparation of walnut pie with plums and chocolate:

Chop the nuts (175g) in a blender. Leave a handful of nuts whole. The recipe specifies hazelnuts, but I used a mixture of cashews and walnuts.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (if you have convection - 160 degrees).
Place paper on the bottom of a 20 cm diameter mold and grease the bottom and edges with butter.
Cut the plums into halves, remove the pips, leave 4 plums whole and cut the rest into small pieces or thin slices.

«To the Turks, simit – what baguette is to the French. It's not just a bread. It's a way of life. They start their mornings with simit, they eat simit at noon and get a good energy boost...

Especially since the process is not very long and complicated.
