    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.
