German Plum Cake




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon sugar (more if plums are sour)
3 Tablespoons butter
1/3 cup milk
1 to 1-1/2 pounds plums (pitted and halved)
2 egg yolks
2/3 cup heavy cream
1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup blanched chopped almonds
1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg


Recipe



Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 Tablespoon (or more) sugar. Blend butter with a pastry blender until it is similar to oatmeal. Add milk and mix just long enough to combine.

Butter an 8- or 9-inch shallow cake pan, preferably one with a removable bottom. Spread the dough in the bottom and on the sides. Crimp edges with a fork. Arrange the plum halves with the skin side down. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.

Combine the egg yolks, heavy cream, 1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar, almonds, and nutmeg. Pour the mixture over the cake and continue baking for another 10 to 15 minutes. The topping should be set and golden brown.
