Plum pie on beer
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I really love plum pastries! Try to choose firm fruits with bright color and pronounced aroma. Whenever possible, use dark muscovado sugar in baking—it gives the pastry a beautiful deep color and extra aroma.

Step 1
Beat softened butter with regular sugar until the sugar granules dissolve. Add dark sugar to the beer and let it dissolve. The beer should be covered with a lid to prevent it from going flat.

Sift both types of flour, mix them with baking soda and spices. Add a small pinch of salt. The salt will enhance the flavor of the sweet baked goods and make it more pronounced.

Pour half of the beer into the dough and add half of the flour mixture. Mix the dough at low speed using a mixer. Then add the remaining half of the beer and flour. Finally, pour balsamic vinegar into the dough. You can substitute it with lemon juice, but the aromatic vinegar will enhance the cake's flavor. Nuances in cooking are very important!

Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for about 40–45 minutes. After 20 minutes, when the cake has risen well and starts browning, reduce the temperature to 180 degrees and continue baking until a wooden skewer inserted comes out dry. Let the cake cool slightly in the pan, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely.
