Step-by-step:
Preparation that brings joy
Prepare the dough: Mix a simple shortcrust pastry or batter and put it into a greased baking tin, smoothing it out.
Arrange the plums: Spread the halved plums close together on the dough, with the cut side facing upwards.
Make the crumble: Knead the flour, sugar, cinnamon and butter into crumbles and spread evenly over the plums.
Baking: Bake the cake in the preheated oven until the crumble is golden brown and the plums are soft.
Allow to cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan before serving.
Individualization: Creative and versatile
Feel free to refine the plum cake with other spices such as cloves or cardamom or add a dash of almond liqueur to the dough for an even more intense flavor.
Serving suggestions: varied and delicious
This plum cake tastes great with a cup of coffee or tea. A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of cream can transform it into a decadent dessert.
