There are many different versions of plum cake in Germany, most are made with yeast dough and are baked on a “ Backblech ” (baking sheet) but this “Rührteig” based recipe is also very popular because it is easier and quicker to make. In Germany, this kind of cake is often served in the afternoon for “Kaffee und Kuchen” (Coffee and Cake time).
Oma’s German Plum Cake, aka Pflaumenkuchen , is one of the most requested recipes. However, many are made with yeast, such as this one . The one below is without yeast, so it’s a quick recipe to make. It’s so quick to make with ” Quark-Öl ” dough, but instead of Quark, I use Greek yogurt.
Place plum quarters in rows on top of dough. Mix together the 2 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup butter to make the streusel dough. Crumble over top of plums. Bake at 350° F for about 50 – 60 minutes or until top is lightly browned.
