Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 8 tablespoons (120 g) sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar or vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • 8 tablespoons (120 ml) vegetable oil
  • 8 tablespoons (120 ml) milk
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 8 tablespoons (120 ml) lemon juice
  • 8 tablespoons (100 g) flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 400 g fresh plums, pitted and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

For the Crumble Topping:

  • 3 tablespoons (45 g) flour
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (15 g) butter

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar (or extract), and a pinch of salt until light and frothy.
  2. Pour in the vegetable oil, milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, flour, and baking powder. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
  3. Pit the plums and finely dice half of them. Fold the diced plums into the batter gently.
  4. Grease a baking pan with butter and pour the batter into it evenly.
  5. Slice the remaining plums and arrange them evenly over the batter in the pan.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and butter to create the crumble topping. Sprinkle it over the sliced plums.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 40 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing and enjoying!

Recipe Notes

  • Make sure the eggs are at room temperature for better mixing.
  • Optional: Sprinkle cinnamon on top for added flavor.
  • Check the cake a few minutes before the full baking time to avoid overbaking.
