NOTE on traditional German Plum Cake: in my opinion. While plums can be found in stores throughout the year, in celebration of plum season I want to share a traditional German plum cake with you. Depending on which region of Germany you're in, it's called Zwetschgenkuchen, Zwetschgendatschi, Quetschekuche or Pflaumenkuchen. I know, they're all tongue-twisters :) My favorite German dessert made with fruit!

Instructions to make Pflaumenkuchen - German Damson Plum Tart with Crumble Topping:

1. Mix all the ingredients for the dough until it's workable enough to knead. Knead for 5-10 minutes until fairly smooth. Form into a ball, cover and let rise for 1 hour.
2. Cut butter for topping into small cubes. Mix all other crumble toppings in a bowl, add butter and use fingertips to crumble everything together until you have little balls of buttery crumbles. Cover and put in refrigerator for at least 45 minutes or longer if making later.
3. Grease you baking sheet or round pan. Roll out the dough into a circle (or rectangle) to fit the size of your pan.
4. Lay the dough into the pan and cover with plastic. Let rest for 15 minutes.
5. Meanwhile preheat oven to 200C/400F (if using a fan or convection oven then 180C/350F)
6. Lay out the quartered pieces of plum on top of the dough.
7. Lastly, sprinkle the crumble topping on top.
8. Bake for 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes, bake at 200C/400F (for fan oven use 180C/350F). After the first 10 minutes reduce the heat to 180C/350F (for fan oven, 160C/320F). Bake until the crumbles are golden yellow and crisp, and crust is light brown. Adjust the baking time if needed.
9. Let cool for a few minutes before eating. Also nice with a little whipping cream or vanilla custard sauce :) This is also tasty when completely cooled.

This is not too sweet and let's you enjoy the flavor of the plums to the fullest. The bottom part is made with a sweet yeast dough and in this version, I topped the plums with a crisp strudel topping. This plum cake is a German classic for "kaffee und kuchen" ie coffee time. It's easy to make and really lets the juicy, sweet-tart plum flavor shine. This post may contain affiliate links, where we earn from qualifying purchases.
