For any of you out there who wished I had posted the recipe for this yummy German Plum Cake, (see earlier post), I apologize. There are just times when work is going at a crazy tilt, and I really can only post as much as I can. Sometimes, there’s no time to post at all! And remember, if you ever want a recipe, you can always post your request in Comments. (You know who you are 😉 )
That said, here is the recipe for this easy and delicious dessert.
Preheat oven to 400˚
Ingredients:
2 C. flour
2 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 C. butter
2 egg yolks
2 Tbsp. milk
Approx 10 Italian prune plums
Combine flour, sugar, salt together and work in butter, egg yolks and milk. Cover bottom and halfway up the sides of a 9″ x 9″ x 2″ pan. Mix all ingredients in the pan. Press firmly.
Arrange plum halves in parallel rows. Mix together 3/4 C. sugar and 2 Tbsp. cornstarch and sprinkle evenly over all.
Bake approx. 30 minutes or until crust is done, not too brown.
Could it be easier?
This can also be made with peach or apple slices, in which case, mix in desired amount of cinnamon with the topping sugar for apples. (maybe for peaches, too!) Prune plums have a very short season; if you can’t find them, regular plums would probably be good – I might try Black Friar.
