Prepare the yeast dough:
Place all ingredients except the butter and salt in a mixing bowl and knead on low speed for about 3-4 minutes. Then add the butter and salt and knead the dough thoroughly on medium speed for another 10-20 minutes until it pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Remove the dough from the bowl, shape it into a ball and place it back in the bowl. Cover and leave to rise at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes.
Prepare the crumble:
While the dough is rising, prepare the crumble. Knead the flour, sugar and butter together until a crumbly mixture forms. Set aside until needed.
Prepare the plums:
Wash and halve the plums. Remove the stones and cut the fruit into small, even wedges.
Top the cake:
Place the risen yeast dough on a baking tray and press it out evenly. Arrange the prepared plums closely together on top of the dough and then sprinkle the crumble evenly over them.
Bake & enjoy:
Bake the plum cake in a preheated oven at 190 °C top/bottom heat for about 30-35 minutes until the crumble is golden brown.
Remove the finished cake from the oven and leave it to cool completely or at least sufficiently. Then cut into pieces and enjoy.
Preparation time: approx. 1 hour 30 minutes (including rising and baking time)
