Plum Cake With Crumbles (German style, just like Oma's Pflaumenkuchen)

Hello everybody.

I hope you have nice summer days. Today I'm going to share the plum cake with you. I want to dedicate this video to the memory my husband's Oma, who often made this kind of cake and is here with us whenever I make it.

This cake is one the most traditional German cakes, everybody in Germany loves it. So I thought it's a good idea to make it and share my experience with you.

In this cake there are special kinda plums I showed you in the video. These kernels of these plums are very easy to remove. You can also use other types of plums as you wish. In fact, you can substitute the plums with apples, berries or every fruit you like.

As you see, in my cake I extra made some crumble, which is very popular here. You can optionally omit it and only make the yeast dough. You even can prepare half of the crumble dough, as you wish.

Exciting part of the cake is the red colour of the plums after they are cooked. It's so yummy and juicy.  Especially,  if you're a fan of sour fruits, you should try it. The combination of sweetness and sourness, gives you a balanced taste,  which is very nice for hot summer days.  Usually,  in the summer people prefer more refreshing and cold stuff than heavy cookies and cakes. So with this recipe you have a balanced cake appropriate for hot days.

In Germany,  this cake is served with a lot of heavy whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. It's a full protein dish you can have for breakfast and stay energetic for the whole day.

This cake because of the yeast does not stay fresh for a long time. Though, I'm pretty sure it will be gone in a minute.  If not, you can keep it in freezer as I do sometimes. Then they are as fresh as the time you have just cooked them.

I hope you make this cake and give me your feedback.
Have Fun,  Have Food.
