Express sprinkled plum cake – notes
I recently craved some plum cake, but due to the heat, I didn’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen.
Then I remembered the recipe for sprinkled apple pie and decided I could make something similar, but with plums.
To make it even quicker and simpler, I modified that recipe and prepared this express plum cake :)
How to make sprinkled plum cake – tips
Start by preparing the plums, as that will take the most time, though it’s still not much.
You will need about 600g of plums here – but you can also add a little more or a little less.
I thoroughly washed my fruits, cut them in half, and removed the pits. Period!
Now all you need to do is prepare the sprinkled cake.
Pour 1/3 of the batter into the baking tin and press it to the bottom, then arrange a layer of plums on top. I arrange them densely, and often they even overlap. On top of the plums, add a little more batter and a second layer of plums. I sprinkled the rest of the batter on top, creating a crumble.
I specifically filmed a short video for you to see how quick and easy this cake is to make. You can find the video at the bottom – below the recipe. It will also be available on my Instagram in Reels – so I invite you there too :)
What ingredients will you need for the quick plum cake?
Simple matter – a glass of wheat flour, a glass of semolina (loose), roughly 3/4 cup of sugar. Although if you have very sweet plums, I think half a cup will be perfectly sufficient. Plus a little cinnamon – for flavor – and baking powder.
In addition to the dry ingredients, we add melted butter to the cake.
The original recipe uses cold butter cut into pieces and placed on top of the dry ingredients. I believe that adding melted butter significantly simplifies the cake preparation – see for yourselves.
As you can see, this quick plum cake is indeed quick, even express.
I recommend waiting about 15 minutes after baking, and then serving it still slightly warm with ice cream – it will taste exquisite!
P.S.
By the way, I recommend my other shortcrust pastry recipes baked with fruit and more. I also encourage you to purchase my book “Beata’s Best Bakes” where you will find many simple, delicious bakes for various occasions :)
