   Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 12.5-inch (31.75 cm) round baking pan with parchment paper.

   💡 Профессиональные советы: Any shape or size pan can be used; a smaller pan will result in a taller cake.

   Prepare the plum filling: Place the halved, pitted, and quartered plums in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of vanilla sugar (or vanilla extract and 1 tbsp sugar). Mix to coat the plums and set aside.

   Make the crumble crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine 166g of the butter (reserve the remaining 60g for later), the remaining sugar, flour, baking powder, and 1 tbsp of vanilla sugar. Using your hands, mix the ingredients until they form a coarse crumble mixture. Do not knead into a ball.

   Arrange the prepared plums evenly over the crust. Drizzle any accumulated juice from the plums over the top.
