A very tasty plum cake that I made a couple days ago=)

If you want to try it out yourself: here is the recipe.^^

This cake consists of 4 layers: a yeast dough, vanilla pudding, damson plums and crumble.

Ingredients

Dough:

500 g flour (wheat flour)
60 g butter
70 g sugar
1 pinch of salt
1 package of dry yeast
200 ml milk
1 egg

1 package of vanilla sugar

Pudding:

1 package of pudding powder

500 ml of milk

2 packages of vanilla sugar

24g sugar

1kg of damson plums

Crumble:

275 g flour
175 g butter
150 g sugar
1 pack. vanilla sugar
1 pinch of salt

First off all prepare the dough. While it is resting in a warm place, prepare the pudding, the plumbs and the crumble.

For the dough:

1) Put the "dry ingredients" together in a big bowl (flour, sugar, vanila sugar, salt)

2) Melt the butter in a cooking pot with low temperature and later on put the milk into it too, so that it becomes lukewarm.

3) Make a hole in the center and put all the "wet ingredients" into it (milk, butter, eggs).

4) Put the dry yeast and a pinch of sugar in the middle of the hole, into the wet ingredients as well and let the yeast "work" for 10 minutes.

5) Mix all the ingredients and the knead the dough very well.

6) Let the dough rest for about an hour somewhere warm.

For the pudding:

1) Put 450 ml of milk into a pot.

2) Use the rest of the milk (50ml) and mix it well with the pudding powder, the vanilla sugar and the sugar.

3) Heat up the milk in the pot, stir it permanently. When the milk is boiling take the pot form the oven and mix the prepared milk-sugar-pudding-powder-mix into it.

4) Put the pot back on the oven until the pudding just started to boil again.

5) Let the pudding cool down.

Plums:

1) Wash the plums.

2) Cut them into halves and take out the stone.

For the crumble:

1) Mix the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, salt, vanilla sugar)

2) Add the butter.

3) Knead the crumble well.

1) Take the dough and knead it again. Then spread it out with a rolling pin and put it onto the baking sheet. Make a nice rim with the dough.

2) Afterwards put the pudding onto the dough and spread it out evenly.

3) Take the plum halves and sit them in nice rows onto the pudding. Put a little bit of sugar over them.

4) Take the crumble and put it over the plums, in different sized chunks (the bigger ones are the best).

5) Back the cake for about 30 minutes at 180°C (356°F) until the crumble is golden brown.
