German plumcake is a dessert made with a thick dough, fresh plums, and a crumb mixture or streusel. It is usually served hot and pairs well with vanilla ice cream and coffee. It originated in Germany and is popular in late summer or early fall when fresh plums are available.
People who like to cook with prunes might want to try German plumcake. This desert consists of a thick dough made from flour, sugar, butter, eggs and yeast. After mixing these ingredients together, the dough is placed on the bottom of a baking tray and then halves of fresh plums are placed on top of it. The finished product is thick like a crust but not crunchy or hard to chew. It tastes best when eaten fresh from the oven and is delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a cup of coffee.
The German loaf originated in Germany, but is served all over the world. In Germany, it is also known as plum kuchen, the German word for cake. It’s a popular dish in late summer or early fall, as this is normally when fresh plums are readily available. Any variety of plum can be used, but Damson plums are preferred because they are very juicy.
The first step in preparing a German plumcake is to prepare a dough with yeast, flour, sugar, eggs and butter. This mixture is allowed to rise for about 30 minutes and then placed in the bottom of a 22-by-33.02 cm (13.8 in) baking pan. After removing the pits, the plums are cut and placed on top of the dough. Some people may add a crumb mixture or a layer of streusel on top of the fruit before placing it in the oven. It should be cooked in a hot oven for about 20-25 minutes to allow the paste to cook thoroughly and the plums to become tender.
The end result is a desert that is more firm than soft like most cakes. It is usually not chewy although the dough closely resembles a crust after it has been cooked. The crust is slightly sweet and pairs well with the tart flavor of baked prunes.
German loaf is usually served hot, but it can also be eaten at room temperature. Some people like to sprinkle powdered sugar or a mixture of sugar and cinnamon on the finished product. A dab of whipped topping can also be placed on top, especially if it’s being served hot. It also goes well with a cup of hot coffee or a dip of fresh ice cream. Plum Cake is a tasty finish to any meal, whether simple or with additional toppings.
