Ingredients
- 400 g flour
- 0.5 cube fresh yeast (21 g)
- 75 g sugar
- 180 ml lukewarm milk
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 egg
- 75 g melted butter
- butter (for the baking sheet)
- 50 g sponge crumbs (or breadcrumb crumbs)
- 1.5 kg plums
- butter (for the baking sheet)
- 2 tbsp sugar-cinnamon mixture (to sprinkle)
Instructions
-
1.
Sift the flour into a bowl and form a well in the center.
-
2.
Dissolve the yeast and 1 tbsp sugar in 4-5 tbsp milk and pour into the well. Stir with a little flour to make a pre‑starter and let rise covered for about 15 minutes. Then add the remaining milk, salt, egg and butter and knead into a smooth dough that lifts from the bowl edges. Let rise covered for about 45 minutes.
-
3.
Preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F) with top and bottom heat.

4.
Knead the dough again vigorously. Butter a baking sheet and roll out the dough onto it, forming a small edge. Sprinkle with crumbs.
-
5.
Wash, halve, pit and quarter the plums. Arrange them on the dough in a roof‑tile pattern. Sprinkle with some sugar‑cinnamon mixture. Bake in the preheated oven (center) for about 45 minutes (do the toothpick test!). Remove the finished cake from the oven and serve sliced while still warm or cold.
