How to Make Plum Kuchen
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- Cut in 1/2 cup cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons heavy cream and 1 large egg until just combined.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Arrange the sliced plums over the crust.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the custard mixture evenly over the plums.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
- Continue baking for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the custard is set and lightly golden brown and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
