Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Plum Kuchen.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While it warms up, grab a 7x11-inch baking dish and give it a light greasing, followed by a dusting of flour to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of sugar and 2 tablespoons of butter.
Step 4
Using an electric mixer, blend them together until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, creating a delightful base for your cake.
Step 5
Next, gently fold in the beaten eggs, 1 cup of flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Step 6
Don’t forget to add a splash of vanilla extract for that warm, inviting flavor that will make your kitchen smell amazing.
Step 7
Once everything is well combined, pour the batter into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly to create a lovely canvas for the plums.
Step 8
Now, take those beautiful halved plums and arrange them, skin side down, right on top of the batter, letting their natural sweetness shine through.
Step 9
In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of flour, 3 tablespoons of butter, and a sprinkle of cinnamon until you achieve a crumbly texture.
Step 10
This will add a delightful crunch to your dish.
Step 11
Spoon this crumbly mixture generously over the batter and plums, creating a tempting topping.
Step 12
Now it’s time to bake! Place your dish in the preheated oven and let it bake for about 35 minutes.
Step 13
Keep an eye on it; you’ll know it’s ready when the plums are softened and the cake turns a beautiful golden brown.
Step 14
Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your home as you anticipate the delicious treat that awaits!.
