👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 26cm (10-inch) springform pan.
💡 Profitipps: Using a springform pan makes removal easier. - 2
Prepare the cake base: In a large bowl, whisk together 300g flour, 50g granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the softened butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
💡 Profitipps: You can use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment for this. - 3
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until just combined. The batter will be thick.
💡 Profitipps: Do not overmix the batter. - 4
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared springform pan. Arrange the halved plums cut-side up over the batter in concentric circles or a decorative pattern.
💡 Profitipps: A slightly wet spatula can help spread the thick batter. - 5
Prepare the streusel: In a separate bowl, combine 150g flour, 50g granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter cubes with your fingertips or a pastry blender until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
💡 Profitipps: Keep the butter cold for a crispier streusel. - 6
Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the plums. Sprinkle the remaining 25g granulated sugar over the streusel.
- 7
Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the cake (avoiding a plum) comes out clean. The streusel should be crisp.
- 8
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes before removing the sides of the springform pan. Serve warm or at room temperature, dusted with powdered sugar if desired.
💡 Profitipps: Allowing it to cool slightly prevents it from breaking when removed from the pan.
💡 Profitipps
- ✓Use firm, ripe plums for the best texture and to prevent the cake from becoming too soggy.
- ✓Ensure the streusel is evenly distributed for a balanced crunch.
- ✓This cake is delicious served with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
