Speedy Damson Plum Cake (with Yogurt-Oil-Dough)

Cakes are great, but if you have to spend several hours in the kitchen to prepare them, they are not as great as they could be ;P I don’t mind working a bit longer in the kitchen on a weekend, but during the week… you have to be able to get everything done much faster ;P Fortunately, there are some simple and quick cakes, like this Speedy Damson Plum Cake (with Yogurt-Oil-Dough) that can be done on a weeknight after work. Quick and easy – that’s what we all want, right? Well… and delicious I suppose ;P

Cakes No Reply

Plum cakes are very popular here in late summer and fall. When Damson plums and regular plums are in season I love to bake cakes with them. I love them so much I could actually bake a cake like this delicious Zwetschgendatschi aka. German Plum Cake with Streusels at least once a week. Fortunately, there are always a bunch of people that are more than happy to pick up a slice or two, so I don’t have to eat all of them by myself ;P

Damson Plum Ricotta Cake

Cakes No Reply

As soon as (damson) plums arrive at the farmer’s market or in the supermarket it’s time for a simple streusel cake with plums. This year, however, this delicious Damson Plum Ricotta Cake won the race and was the first cake of the »plum season«. I think it was a good decision to try something new. The cake is super easy to prepare and really delicious. It also looks really nice in my opinion – probably not everyone’s cup of tea though with all those plums on top ;P

Damson Plum Muffins with Meringue Topping

Cupcakes, Muffins No Reply

When (Damson) plums are in season in late summer and fall, we like to bake with them a lot. The season for Damson plums is not that long here in Germany, so you have to use that time wisely ;) The ones you can buy in glass jars or frozen in the supermarket are just not as good as the fresh ones. That’s the reason why we bake as much as possible in August and September. Delicious stuff like these Damson Plum Muffins with Meringue Topping. Some would say they are cupcakes… but they are not ;P
