Prep time: 50 min

Yield: 8
Ingredients: 300 g plums (pitted, halved); 200 g all-purpose flour; 150 g granulated sugar; 125 ml milk; 1 egg; 100 g melted butter; 1 teaspoon baking powder; a pinch of salt; 100 g all-purpose flour; 80 g powdered sugar; 70 g cold butter (cubed)

Preparation procedure

Prepare the dough In a bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl whisk together the milk, egg and melted butter. Slowly pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until a smooth, denser batter. The consistency should be between pancake batter and a traditional cake batter.
Prepare the pan with the plums Grease a baking tray or a round pan with a diameter of 22–24 cm with butter or line it with baking paper. Arrange the plums cut-side up evenly across the surface.
Pour the batter Pour the batter over the plums and spread it level. No need to mix – the batter will nicely combine with the fruit during baking.
Make the crumble Mix the flour, powdered sugar and cinnamon. Add the cold butter and quickly rub with your fingers to create a crumble with larger clumps. Sprinkle it evenly over the top of the cake.
Bake Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Bake the cake for 40 minutes, until the crumble is golden and the plums begin to lightly bubble. To check insert a skewer into the center – if it comes out dry, the cake is done.
Let cool briefly Let the cake rest for 10–15 minutes. It will cut more easily and the flavors will meld.
