Plum Tart with Ricotta Cheese & Greek Yogurt - easy and light homemade tart recipe, right sweet treat for your afternoon cuppa! | happyfoodstube.com

A while ago I bought Spanish food magazine called Saber Cocinar and this plum tart immediately caught my eye. I made it shortly afterwards but truth be told I was hugely disappointed with the result.

In fact, my plum tart was a complete disaster! Long story short – when translating the recipe from Spanish I made a mistake which lead to the worst looking and tasting plum tart ever! Ouch and oops!

Well, what can I say? Accidents in the kitchen happen from time to time, right? Anyways, I made this easy plum dessert again and it was a complete opposite – the perfect looking and tasting plum tart ever!

Now if you love dessert tart recipes, what about making this simple Homemade Lemon Tart or Strawberry Coconut Tart? Pear Tart with frangipane filling is another delicious dessert as well as the classic Apple Pie.

How to make a plum tart?

First start off with creaming the butter with sugar. Make sure the butter is at room temperature. You can use a microwave to soften it a bit but bear in mind this will only take a few seconds!

Eggs are beaten into this mixture, one at a time. In the end you should get a fluffy batter. Now it’s time to add ricotta and Greek yogurt.

Combine flour, cinnamon and baking powder and sift it into the mixture. Fold it in with a wooden spoon. At this point your plum tart batter is ready to be spread into a cake pan. I used a silicone one. It was my first time using it and I wasn’t sure about it at first. However, I liked how easy it was to take the cake out. You can use any cake pan you have that is about 9 inch/23cm wide. If not using a silicone cake pan I highly recommend greasing it or lining it with a sheet of baking paper.

Top the batter with plum halves so the cut parts are facing the batter. Baking this plum tart will take about 40 minutes. To make sure the tart is done, check using a wooden skewer. If it comes out clean, the plum tart is ready to be taken out of the oven.

Plum tart Ingredient Substitutions:

  • Plums – I know this is a plum tart but you could use apricots, if you don’t have or don’t like plums.
  • Greek yogurt – use sour cream.
  • Superfine sugar – you can use brown sugar as well or granulated sugar.

Good to know:

  • All-purpose flour (US) = Plain flour (UK)
  • Powdered sugar, confectioner’s sugar (US) = Icing sugar (UK)
  • Superfine sugar (US) = Caster sugar (UK)

Note: To make this plum tart I used grams instead of cups. I highly recommend using a scale to make this tart. However, I added the cup measurements as well for those who would like to give it a go using cups.

    This reminds me of an Austrian cake which we usually cake in square form. Its mostly served with freshly whipped cream and coffee after 3 pm. :)
    I think sometimes you need to have blunders in the kitchen to understand how things come together in cakes etc. It helps you in the long run.

    What a beautiful looking tart! I’m glad you tried again after your kitchen disaster. (We’ve all been there! :) ) I’m not much for eating plums, but I do love them in baked goods. The only issue I see here is that it looks too pretty to eat.5 stars
