Check out the Streuselkuchen that my niece, Melissa, passed on from her German Oma. It’s a bit different than most. It has a cake bottom, a cooked plum filling, and then it’s topped with streusel. Delicious! Click here for the recipe.
Looking for a plum cake with a yeast base? Here’s one I make, either with plums or peaches, using the bread machine to make quick work of it. It’s also covered with streusel. So wunderbar! Check out my peach or plum cake recipe.
Then there's my favorite. One made with a quark (or Greek yogurt)/oil dough that mimics the taste of a yeast dough without all the fuss. Easy and delicious. My kind of cake!

It may appear sort of strange to have two different types of crust for a cake.
It’s not that much more work to make a double crust. In this case, you quickly make the 'cookie' crust, which reminds me of a streusel batter, and while it’s baking in the oven, you make the ‘cake’ crust.
In no time at all you’ll have a wonderful Zwetschgenkuchen (or Pflaumenkuchen) to set before your family.
