"Zwetschkenkuchen"
My
grandmother’s birthday was on the 8th of January. This is why we’ll have a big
family reunion at her place again this weekend to celebrate her 83th birthday.
When it comes to birthdays I’m really bad in what to give somebody as a
present. I’m not that creative and so I thought I could bake her favourite cake
which is a plum cake, in German “Zwetschkenkuchen”.
So here are the ingredients you need for a “Zwetschkenkuchen”:
4 eggs
50 g of
sugar
a pinch of
salt
100g of
butter
70 g of
icing sugar
220 g of
flour
10 g of
baking powder
60 ml of
egg liqueur
500 g of
plums
Topping:
120 g of
flour
75 g of
melted butter
70 g of
sugar
a
teaspoonful of cinnamon
First
cut plums in half and remove stones. Then separate the
eggs and beat egg whites until whipped well and add sugar.
Now put butter with icing sugar together and mix well. Then stir egg
yolks to a creamy liquid. The
next step is to add flour and
baking powder to the creamy yolk eggs. Then stir the mixture to creamy dough and carefully fold
the stiff egg whites under.
Put the dough into a square springform pan and cover tightly with the plums, distribute the topping on and bake at 160 ° circulating air for about 30 minutes.
