Damson plum pies have a long tradition in our family. I’ve been helping to bake cakes like that since I was a little kid. Back then I could only help to place the damson plums on top…but I helped ;P Today, I love to make a delicious Damson Plum Cake aka. German Zwetschgendatschi like this one here from start to finish as soon as the plum season starts at the farmer’s markets in late summer. Zwetschgendatschi is a super simple yet extremely delicious cake that has a lot of fans in Germany! Could you say »no« to a slice of this cake with some whipped cream on top?! ;P
