How to Make Plum Streusel Kuchen
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- Make the streusel topping: In a food processor, combine ⅓ cup flour, ½ cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Pulse 2-3 times.
- With the food processor running, slowly add the oil and corn syrup through the feed tube until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Set the streusel topping aside.
- Make the cake batter: In a food processor, combine 1 ⅓ cups flour, ⅓ cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pulse 2-3 times.
- Add the softened margarine and process until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Transfer the crumb mixture to a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt, water, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and egg.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Sprinkle half of the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
- Arrange the sliced plums on top of the streusel in a circular pattern.
- Sprinkle the remaining streusel topping evenly over the plums.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the Kuchen cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
