Hello lovelies, today I have another sweet recipe for you: plum cake with crumbles and curd layer. Figs, plums, apples and pumpkins – I think these are my favorite ingredients at the moment. The plum and apple harvest is very opulent this year. We‘ve been driving by many fruit trees this summer which appear to bend under the weight of apples and plums. Unfortunately we also saw some trees or rather branches that collapsed because they couldn’t carry this large amount of fruits. We definitely have to take advantage of the rich harvest. Next to apple sauce and plum sauce, one of our favorites is a delicious cake.
Plum cake with crumbles and curd layer
This plum cake with crumbles and a curd layer has a fluffy yeast dough, a vegan curd coating, fresh delicious plums of course and sweet crumbles on top. Crumbles are the best part of the cake, don’t you think? I still remember very well how I loved to steal them off the cake in an unobserved moment as a child – and also how I fought over the biggest crumble with my brother :-).
RECIPE
The cake will get very moist because of the plums and the curd coating, that’s just how we like it. I even take it out the oven a little earlier because we like it when the inside of the cake is still a little raw. But of course this is a personal reference. The girls ask me pretty much every day when will I bake this delicious cake again. I think I will create the same recipe with apples next, this sounds delicious too. You can also leave out the curd coating and bake a simple yeast cake with crumbles – also very tasty.
We sprinkled some powdered sugar on top of the cake, something I like on all crumble cakes – just a force of habits but of course you can leave the powdered sugar out.
I think I may have to return to the kitchen now and bake the apple version, I really feel like it! But I will add two more apple and plum recipes to the blog this week (or next week). One is for very delicious apple pancakes and one for plum chocolate muffins with walnuts. Luckily apple season lasts very long, so I can post many more recipes for you. And if you wanna try the best vegan cheesecake in the meantime, you can find the recipe here.
