Looking for a plum cake recipe? With the following recipe for plum sheet cake and plum cake with pistachios, you can quickly and easily conjure up a delicious cake for your loved ones.
In late summer and early autumn, the time has finally come again: the plums are ripe and just waiting to be turned into a wonderful plum cake. Whether baked on a baking sheet or in a springform pan, the juicy stone fruit is a treat for young and old. However, for the plum cake to turn out well, a few criteria must be met: the plums should definitely be ripe and firm. Overripe fruit is better suited for compote and jams.
Important: the plums must be washed before processing, because the white wax layer protects the stone fruit from drying out. Now the fruit can be cut open and pitted with a sharp kitchen knife. This is very easy, for example, with a plum pitter
A yeast dough or a batter is very suitable as a dough for a successful plum cake. Depending on the recipe, the cake tastes excellent cold or lukewarm, with a dollop of cream or in combination with other fruits – so there are hardly any limits to the possibilities.
Small tip: if you like it sweet, you can sprinkle a little sugar on the somewhat tart-tasting plums. Pearl sugar looks particularly decorative – its slight caramel note provides a delightful taste experience.
