My Oma's Pflaumenkuchen (Plum Cake) non-yeast easier version
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp vanilla sugar (or use vanilla Greek yogurt see below)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (use vanilla if you don't have vanilla sugar)
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup sunflower or olive oil
Approx 2 lbs of prune plums (Italian plums are best that come out at the end of August usually) pitted and quartered
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup of cold butter (cubed is easier to work with)
- Preheat oven to 350°
- In a large mixing bowl mix 2 1/3 cups of flour, baking powder, 1/3 cup sugar + 1tbsp (if you can vanilla sugar use) and salt.
- Add yogurt, milk and oil using dough hook mix for a minute or so until dough holds together (do not over beat) or you can just mix with wooden spoon and kneed lightly with hands until the dough holds together
- Press dough into a greased 9"×13" pan OR divide dough into two 9" springfoam pans
- Place plum quarters in rows on top of dough (I do one outer and one inner circular rows then pop one in to fill centre)
- If desired for preference of tarte or sweet you can Sprinkle some sugar on top to help cut out the tartness of the plums.
- Mix together 2 cups flour, 1 cup sugar and 1 cups butter to make streusel dough. Crumble over top of plums (make sure top and sides are fully covered)
8.Bake 350° for 50-60 minutes or until top is lightly browned - Let cool and serve
Good looking recipe. Good share.
