If you are looking for a delicious and unique cake to make, then you should consider making a German plum cake. This cake is made with a yeast-based dough and is filled with sweet plums. The cake is a popular German dessert and is often served with cream, custard, or ice cream. Not only is it a great treat to enjoy, but it is also a great way to use up plums when they are in season. Here is a German plum cake recipe yeast that you can use to make this delicious cake.

Ingredients

2 packages of active dry yeast
1/2 cup of warm water
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
4 tablespoons of butter, melted
2 teaspoons of salt
2 eggs
4 cups of all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups of pitted and halved plums
1/2 cup of melted butter, for brushing

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Dough

In a small bowl, mix together the yeast and warm water and let it sit for about 10 minutes, until it starts to foam. In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, melted butter, salt, and eggs. Add in the yeast mixture and stir. Gradually add in the flour, one cup at a time, and stir until the dough comes together. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.

Step 2: Assemble the Cake

Once the dough has doubled in size, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out into a 12-inch circle. Place the dough into a greased 9-inch springform pan. Arrange the plum halves on top of the dough and brush the top with melted butter. Cover the pan with a damp cloth and let it rise for an additional 30 minutes.

Step 3: Bake the Cake

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before serving.
