1.
Slice the plums crosswise on top and bottom, then cut along the scar and remove the pit. Dissolve the yeast in the milk for the dough. Sift the flour and mix with the milk‑yeast mixture, 70g sugar, egg, yolk, salt, rum and softened butter into a dough. Shape the finished dough round, dust with flour and let rise to twice its volume in a warm place.

Prepare crumb topping from the listed ingredients, rubbing the dough between two hands repeatedly until it takes on a crumbly consistency. Cover the crumbs and refrigerate. Preheat oven to 220°C. Knead the dough again and let rise for another 10 minutes. Roll out the dough evenly to sheet size and lay on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Prick several times with a fork.

Sprinkle the base with sponge cake crumbs. Arrange the plums, cut side up, in a tiled pattern on the dough. Mix the remaining sugar with cinnamon and scatter over the fruit. Let the dough rise until it has increased to three‑quarters of its volume. Finally sprinkle the plum filling with crumbs and bake for about 35 minutes on the lowest rack.
