Plum Streusel cake

                                          Plum Streusel Cake

This is a traditional Fall cake in Germany since the Plums (or Prunes) are in season. So, this base here you can use for any other fruits though. I already made it with apples and cinnamon but feel free to use whatever you like. 

The Base or Knetteig:

- 175 gr. soft unsalted Butter

- 1 Egg

- 100 gr Sugar

- 300 gr Flour 

- 1 pinch of salt

 

Streusel for topping:

- 150 gr Butter

- 300 gr Flour

- 100 gr Sugar

cinnamon optional

This is how you do it:

Combine all ingredients for the Base in a bowl and mix it with your hands until a solid ball forms.

Set aside.

In another bowl add the 3 ingredients for the Streusel and mix well until you can form little balls with your hands but which fall apart easily.

Get a round spring form and butter it well all around. Preheat your oven to either 350 Fahrenheit or air fryer at 325 Fahrenheit.

Get the Base and push it with your hand palm and fingers onto the bottom of the spring form and a bit up on the side to create a small edge. Now put the fruits on how you desire. Top it with a good amount of the Streusel (my spring from is smaller then the amount of dough I have so don't be surprised if you have left overs)

Bake in the oven for 35-45 min or until the Streusel are slightly brown. Wait with taking the ring of\f of the spring form until its completely cooled down. The fruit juice will make it run away if you do it to early. Now enjoy a piece with some whipped cream.

Guten Appetit
