GERMAN PLUM TART
The buttery crust of this fruit-filled treat melts in your mouth. You can substitute sliced apples or peaches for the plums with great results. I've used this crust with blueberries, too. -Helga Schlape, Florham Park, New Jersey

PFLAUMENKUCHEN (GERMAN PLUM TART)
This is considered to be THE German fruit tart. Traditionally this is baked on yeast pastry, but the sweet German pastry is also a perfect base. It must be made with cold butter and the dough chilled before using, otherwise there is a tendency to add additional flour, which is a mistake. The crust rises up between the fruits and the delicious juices are absorbed into the pastry.

ZWETSCHEKUCHEN (GERMAN PLUM TART)
This is the plum cake or tart that my Grossmutter made. It is delicious, and any fruit can be substituted for the plums. Therefore it is a seasonally great! It's a Southern German dessert from the Zweibrucken area. My daughter requested this for her 'birthday cake' when she turned 7; it was a hit at her party! Top with whipped cream. My personal favorite version is to alternate plum and nectarine slices.

Steps:
- Place the flour, 1 1/3 cup of sugar, lemon peel, cinnamon, and butter into the work bowl of a food processor, and process until the mixture turns grainy. Stop the machine, add eggs and egg yolks, and process in the machine until the mixture gathers itself up into one dough ball. If the dough doesn't ball up, stop the machine, sprinkle several drops of water onto the dough, and process again. Place the dough into a covered container and refrigerate at least 3 hours or preferably overnight.
- The next day, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Allow the dough to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes to warm up.
- Roll out the dough on a well-floured surface to make a 9 1/2-inch circle. Dough will be rich and sticky. Scrape up the dough circle, and press into a 9-inch pie dish. Quarter and slice the plums, and place skin sides down onto the dough in a neat ring, starting at the outer edge and working in a neat row towards the center.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the plums are bubbling hot and the crust starts to brown, about 45 minutes.
- Allow the tart to cool, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar before serving.

GERMAN COUNTRY PLUM TART
Beautiful ripe plums form a sweet glazed topping for an unusual tart pastry. Sweet pastry dough is folded into yeast kuchen dough the way that butter is folded into puff pastry, giving a distinctive taste and texture to the pastry crust of the tart. When working with yeast, you want the water (and, in this case, milk) to be just warm to the touch: too cold and it will not react well; too hot and you kill the yeast.

Steps:
- To prepare the sweet pastry dough: Beat the salt, sugar, and egg yolks together in a bowl until foamy and doubled in volume using a wooden spoon. Stir in the vanilla. Add the flour all at once and quickly combine with the egg mixture, using the same spoon. With your hands, pick up small handfulls of the flour mixture and rub it between your fingers to even out the texture, letting it spill back into the bowl, until the mixture is uniformly grainy. Put the flour mixture on a work surface. Soften the butter by rolling out with a rolling pin, pounding it with the rolling pin until it softens. Place the butter over the flour mixture and knead together just until they form a uniform dough. Roll the dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Set aside in the refrigerator. To prepare the kuchen dough: Put the warm water and milk in the bowl of an electric mixer and sprinkle with the yeast and sugar. Set aside for 5 minutes. Stir in the butter, lemon zest, and salt. Add the flour. Beat on medium speed with the dough hook or paddle attachment of the mixer until it forms a ball. Remove from the mixer and cover the bowl with plastic wrap; set aside in a warm place to rise until doubled in bulk, about 20 minutes. Spray two baking sheets lightly with cooking oil spray, then blot any excess. Sprinkle a large work surface with flour. Place the kuchen dough on the floured work surface and dust with flour. Punch down the dough, then roll out into a sheet. In a corner of the work surface, roll out the sweet pastry dough half as large. Place the sweet dough in the center of the kuchen dough and fold the sides over the sweet dough. Roll the combined dough into a large sheet, then fold in thirds. Turn 90 degrees. Roll out again and again fold into thirds. Turn 90 degrees. Roll out again. Cut in half, and press one half into each prepared baking sheet, making the dough about ½-inch thick. Press the edges up the sides of the pan and trim any excess dough. Lightly sprinkle each sheet of dough with cake crumbs to absorb the plum juices. To prepare the filling: Mix the cinnamon and sugar in a large bowl. Slice each plum in half and remove the pit, then cut each half into thin slices, leaving the skin on and the slices attached at one end. Put in the sugar mixture and toss. Cover the top of each tart with plum slices, spreading the slices and overlapping them slightly. Face all the slices in the same direction. Cover the entire surface of the dough. Sprinkle the remaining sugar mixture over the tops of the tarts. Let rest 45 minutes before baking. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Bake the tarts for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the plums have softened and glazed, and the pastry is golden brown. Remove and let cool slightly. To serve: While still a little warm, cut away the heavy borders and slice each tart into 12 pieces. Serve plain or with vanilla ice cream or sweetened whipped cream and mint sprigs. Note: The dough may be shaped into individual round tart rolls instead of sheets; other fruit may be used to cover the dough.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine the flour, walnuts, and sugar in a large bowl. Add the butter and the egg yolk. Mix, either by hand or with an electric mixer, until crumbly.
- Press 1 1/2 cups of the crumb mixture in an even layer into the bottom of a 9 1/2-inch springform or tart pan. Arrange the plums in the pan, skin side down, to form a flower pattern; begin at the outside and work your way in.
- Sprinkle the rest of the crumb mixture evenly over the plums. Bake the tart for 40 to 50 minutes, or until it's lightly browned and the plum juices are bubbling. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and transfer the tart to a flat plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Make the crust: In a food processor, pulse flour, cornmeal, sugar, and salt several times to combine. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces remaining. Add 2 tablespoons ice water; pulse until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed. (If needed, add up to 2 tablespoons more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time.) Do not overmix.
- Turn dough out onto a floured work surface; knead once or twice. Flatten dough into a disk; wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Flour a large (about 16 inches long) piece of parchment paper. Place dough on paper. Using your knuckles, press edges of dough so it doesn't crack during rolling. Lightly flour top of dough to prevent sticking; roll out to a 14-inch round. Transfer dough (still on parchment) to prepared baking sheet.
- Make the filling and bake: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, toss together plums, sugar, and flour. Mound plum mixture in center of prepared crust, leaving a 2-inch border all around. Fold border over fruit in a pleated pattern. Brush dough with egg wash.
- Bake tart until crust is brown and filling is bubbling (see note), about 45 minutes. Transfer baking sheet to a rack; let cool 20 minutes. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
GERMAN PLUM CAKE
This cake is actually known as Zwetschgendatschi in Bavaria, where it is most popular. Roughly translated from Bavarian to German, it would be called Pflaumenkuchen or plum cake in English. BUT Zwetschgen aren't ordinary plums, a Datschi isn't really a Kuchen, and a Kuchen is most definitely not a cake! Or at least not a tall, spongy cake -- it's flatter. Ideally, for this dessert you want the slightly tart Italian plums. If you do have to use another type of plum, be careful the variety you choose isn't too juicy.

TRADITIONAL GERMAN PLUM CAKE (ZWETSCHGENKUCHEN)
Summer Time is Zwetschgenkuchen time for me. This traditional German Plum Cake will be made with Damson Plums on a yeast dough. After your first mouthful of this juicy cake you will be addicted to the wonderful flavors of plums, cinnamon, yeast dough and whipped cream. I can't wait to get the first plums (Zwetschgen) every year to make one of my favorite fruit cakes.

Steps:
- Sift flour into a large bowl and make a well in the middle.
- Crumble yeast into well and mix it with 1 tablespoon of sugar, milk and some flour. This first yeast-mixture should be still fluid. Cover and let rise in warm place for 20 minutes.
- Add remaining sugar, melted butter, egg and a good pinch of salt and mix with yeast mixture and flour. Knead with floured hands until dough is peeling away from the side of the bowl and blistering. This step may take 10 minutes (or more). Use some additional flour, if dough is too sticky. At the end you should have a smooth dough.
- Cover and let rise in warm place for about 25 to 30 minutes or until dough has doubled.
- Meanwhile prepare the plums. Cut lengthwise and pit them. Cut the still connected plum halves once again lengthwise, but do not cut through. You should have a depitted plum which you can easily flatten.
- Grease backing tray. Dough is calculated for a baking tray of 11 3/4 x 15 inches.
- Remove yeast dough from bowl, knead once or twice and roll out on baking tray using a floured rolling pin. Along the sides of the baking tray form a border with yeast dough.
- Place plums on yeast dough in closely rows and press slightly into dough. Let rise again for 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven (425 F, 220 C).
- Bake the plum cake in the middle of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile mix sugar and ground cinnamon for topping.
- Remove plum cake from oven and sprinkle with sugar-cinnamon mixture. Cut into 20 pieces and serve warm or cold with whipped cream.
- NOTE on Baker's yeast: If possible use fresh baker's yeast. But you can replace it by 1 1/2 packages dry yeast.
- NOTE on Damson Plums: a traditional German Plum Cake is made with the slightly tart and not too juicy Damson Plums. You can also use other plum varieties, but the plums shouldn't be over-ripped or too juicy. I have tried it with other plum varieties and have reduced amount of sugar in topping.
- NOTE on traditional German Plum Cake: in my opinion this cake has to be made with yeast dough. It takes more time to make than other doughs, but it is worthwhile. Don't be afraid of the juices. This cake has to be juicy!
- There are existing several names for this type of frutit cake in Germany: Zwetschgenkuchen, Pflaumenkuchen and in Bavaria Zwetschgendatschi. Zwetschgen is the German name for Damson plums.

- Place the flour, sugar and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer and pour in the yeast mixture, melted warm (not hot) butter, eggs and vanilla extract. Give it an initial stir to combine the ingredients and then attach a dough hook and knead it on the bread setting ("2") for 4-5 minutes, adding the remaining 1/4 cup milk as necessary. (The dough will be sticky but should hold together fairly well. It will not be firm enough to knead into a ball, think of it more as a thick batter.) Cover it loosely with plastic wrap and set it in a warm, draft free place to rise for an hour or until about doubled in size.
- Generously butter a German Backblech extended to full length or a large jelly roll pan (at least 18 inches in length and 1 inch sides but even then the crust will be thicker than with the Backblech).
- Use your hands to spread the dough out across the full length of the pan, pressing it up against the sides. (It's yeast dough so it will resist, but just keep pushing it back into position the best you can. Once you put the plums on it, those will help keep it in place.) Lay the plums close together in rows over the whole length of the dough on the sheet pan. (If you want your cake a bit sweeter you can sprinkle it *lightly* with sugar or cinnamon-sugar if you prefer more cinnamon. I emphasize "lightly" because the more sugar you add the more watery the cake will be as the sugar liquifies during baking and your streusel will also "melt" in contact with it.)
