Description

Easy to prepare and enough to feed a whole football team :) Traditional German Tray Bake: Damson Plum Cake with Streusel

Ingredients

Scale

For the streusel

  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (100g) sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup (150g) butter, at room temperature
  • 3 tbsp. sliced almonds
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon (optional)

For the dough

  • 8.8 oz. (250g) curd cheese
  • 1/2 cup (100g) sugar
  • 6 tbsp. milk
  • 3 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 3 cups (400g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. salt

For the topping

  • 53 oz. (1,5kg) damson plums
  • 2–3 tbsp. coarse sugar

Instructions

  1. Start by washing, drying and pitting the plums. To remove the stone from the plums, use a sharp knife and cut the plums one one side along the stone – do not half them completely, you should have plums that are almost in one pice. Set aside.
  2. For the streusel add the flour, sugar, vanilla extract and butter in small pieces to a bowl and mix (works best with a fork or your fingers) until streusel form. Add the sliced almonds and cinnamon (optional) and mix in. Place in the fridge until needed.
  3. Add the curd cheese, sugar, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract and egg to a large bowl and mix until well combined. Mix the flour with baking powder, and salt. Add to the bowl and knead until the dough comes together. The dough will be quite soft.
  4. Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C). Line a (deep) baking sheet with baking parchment or grease. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to the size of the baking sheet and transfer – press the dough into shape if you have problems rolling out the dough due to its softness.
  5. Open the plums so the loon like butterflies (but are still connected at one point) and place close to each other on the dough – cover everything. Distribute the streusel evenly on top of the plums and sprinkle with coarse sugar (optional). Bake for 25-35 minutes. Take out of the oven and let cool down. Serve slightly warm or completely cooled.
