Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Toast hazelnuts in the oven for 10-12 minutes until fragrant.

In a bowl, combine teff flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

In a food processor, blend butter and sugar until it reaches a paste consistency, about 30 seconds.

Add eggs to the butter and sugar mixture and blend until combined.

Stir in vanilla extract and lemon juice.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk.

Fold in chopped hazelnuts and sliced plums.

Pour the batter into a greased tart pan, smoothing the top.

Arrange additional plum slices on top in a decorative pattern.

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the tart cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
