This recipe is wonderful! Moist cake with a little walnut crunch and plummy goodness in every bite... one piece is not enough.

I made this cake for our anniversary and my husband loved it. I tried it again, this time using apple slices and it was just as good. I HIGHLY recommend this recipe. The dough comes out so nicely! Only thing I added was a layer of custard spread onto the dough. Then place the plum slices into the custard. When you add the custard this becomes a 5 star recipe!

Hi you mentioned in a review that you make a custard topping for the German Plum Cake. Would you care to share that recipe - please?

This is my second time making this and my mouth is watering.... and the house smells great.

I have used this recipe for my coffee shop. I use slivered almonds for the nuts that go on the top of the cake. Excellent. As a restaurant owner, this is one of the customer favorites.

THANK YOU! I have missed my mothers plum cakes sweet tartness explosion in my mouth for so many years, the woman isn't dead, she just won't give up the family recipe, and this is the recipe that most reminded me of hers. I baked it, and brought some to my dad who replied its about time she made that again, which thrilled me. I'm bringing her some down today for her birthday and having to stop myself from making it only have a cake by inhaling some of it.

My father was a German baker, and would make this every fall for Rosh Hannah. Since his passing, I took over, but this year couldnt't remember the dough recipe. I used this one, and it was delicious, and easy to make. I followed my Dad's tip and spread prune butter over the batter and then arrange the quartered plums in a spiral and sprinkle with sugar. I baked it in a round tart pan. Great presentation to boot!
