Description
Honestly, the smell of star anise I've always remembered the smell of some medicines for colds since childhood. But if you taste it once in baking, all doubts were dispelled like smoke. Nothing to do with medicine - a gentle, very pleasant and unique flavor, in the neighborhood of the plum is just a delight! Try to cook my pie, you will love it!

Cooking
Here is a set of products for baking. Baking 22X22 cm, covered with baking paper. Of course, in those places, where I live, for plum cakes use the local plum brandy, but I have a habit to use rum. Instead of rum you use vodka, brandy or liqueur, vodka you can add a drop of almond or rum essence.
Soft butter vzbit with sugar. Still whisking, add the eggs one by one and trickle pour the rum. The mass obtained is not smooth but resembles curdled milk.
Flour mixed with baking powder, add to oil-based and knead the dough.
About two-thirds of the dough spread on the bottom of the form, help yourself with wet palms, the dough is sticky. On the dough to raskleit halved plums cut up, bone, naturally, be removed.
One star anise crushed into spoke.
Literally one or two pinches of crushed star anise to sprinkle plums, sprinkle with roughly ground almonds or almond petals. Close all this splendor the remaining batter. Make it easy, if wet hands make thin the "lepeshechki" of dough and lay them across the surface of the pie.
If you do this carefully, prune layer will be smooth and beautiful, I unfortunately overdid it and I got some plums left, but this does not affect the taste of the pie.
Put the pie in the preheated oven and bake at 170 degrees for about 40-50 minutes, stay in your oven. You can decorate the cake, sprinkle it with powdered sugar and cinnamon.
Cut the cooled cake into pieces. Each slice decorate with cream whipped with powdered sugar or, like me, to use for this soft, sweet cheese with a dollop of sour cream.
Tender, flavorful cake will decorate any table and will make your tea break extremely pleasant! Bon appetit!
