Zwetschenkuchen (Plum Cake)

I love this cake. Especially when it comes out of the oven and is still warm (not hot) and topped with heavy whipping cream. Delicious.

Ingredients

Dough

500gr flour
2 pkg yeast
2 Tablespoon sugar
1/2 stick butter
1 cup milk

Topping

Plums
Sugar

Step 1

Mix flour,sugar and yeast together.

Step 2

Heat milk with butter. When hot
(not boiling) pour in flour mix.

Step 3

Mix everything together until a ball forms
and dough no longer sticks on your hands.
You may have to add a little more flour while
kneading the dough.

Step 4

Let rise until about double the size.

Step 5.

Grease a cookie sheet. I use baking spray.

(works great)

Step 6

Press Dough into cookie sheet

Step 7

 Cut plums and remove the pit.

For this step my mom gave me this little tool.
It works perfect. All you do is set the plumb on
the end. press down and the pit comes out the bottom
and the plum is cut. However I do not know where to get
this or what it is called. Sorry!! If you do find it please let me
know where.

Step 8.

Put the plums onto the dough. Press down a bit.
Fit them as tight as you can and cover the whole
cookie sheet. Sprinkle with a little sugar.

Step 9

Bake at 350 degrees until the fruit is soft and the bottom
of the dough is lightly browned.

Step 10

Before serving you can sprinkle with some more sugar if
you prefer your cake sweeter.




Note

You can also do this with other fruit. For example ruhbarb or apple slices and top with a crumb Crust.
Please see the next blog for the recepie.

Ruhbarb cake/Applecake

Cut up Ruhbarb into small pieces
(peel and core apples. Slice into slices)
Sprinkle with sugar.

Top dough with fruit and crumb crust
I did half ruhbarb, half apple

Bake at 350 until fruit is tender crumb
crust and bottom of dough is lightly brown.

Enjoy



Bon Appetite!!!
