Plum cake (Germany)

Germany has a lot of very flat "tray bakes", and plum cake is a typical one! The massive sweet plums are not too great for this cake - we used damsons!

Recipe:

8 tbsp vegetable oil
8 tbsp milk
120g sugar
200g quark (or plain yoghurt, we used a mix of yoghurt and sour cream)
1 egg
pinch of salt
400g flour
3 tsp baking powder

plums/damsons
sugar and cinnamon, to sprinkle

Mix all ingredients together (we used our hands, and it made a sticky dough). Put on a baking tray, use your fingers to squish the dough into the corners. Use a knife to take the stones out of the plums or damsons and place cut side up onto the dough. Mix sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on top (to taste, depending on the plums you use and your sweet tooth!)

Bake at 180 degrees (celsius) for about 25 minutes.
