How to Make Plum Cake German
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 4 cups (500g) all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup (113g) melted unsalted butter.
- Add 4 large egg yolks and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; mix until just combined.
- Press the dough into a 9x13 inch baking pan, forming a rim around the edges using your fingers.
- Spread a thin layer of apricot jam (about ½ cup) evenly over the dough.
- Arrange quartered purple plums (about 1 ½ lbs) in rows on top of the jam.
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat 4 large egg whites until frothy. Brush gently over the plums.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons (10g) all-purpose flour over the egg whites.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the plums are tender.
- Let cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar and serving.
