Zwetschgen-Kuchen (Plum Tart With Streusel)

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease and line a 10-inch springform cake pan with parchment paper.

On a floured surface, roll out the dough slightly larger than the diameter of the pan. Transfer the dough to the pan—there should be a rim of about 1 inch around the sides. Brush the inside of the crust with egg yolk.

Step 3

Prepare the plums. Wash them, halve them, and remove the pits. Then, from the cut side, cut them again about halfway through. Arrange the plums on the crust.

Step 4

Step 6

This cake tastes great warm, and whipped cream or vanilla ice cream are good accompaniments. It keeps well for several days, stored in an airtight container.
