Fresh Plum Kuchen Recipe - Simply Garden - From the Family - From the Garden

Fresh Plum Kuchen

Juicy garden fresh plums are the star in this Fresh Plum Kuchen from a new favorite cookbook: Taste of Home Bake Shop Favorites

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup softened butter
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 cups sliced fresh plums
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 10-inch springform pan.

  2. In a bowl cream together butter and 3/4 cup white sugar. Add the eggs and lemon zest and beat until well combined. Add the flour and baking powder and milk and beat until all mixed up!

  3. Pour into your greased springform pan and spread evenly. Arrange the sliced plums on top.  Now at this point you can get all fancy with the plums, or just do what we did and toss them on! 

  4. In a small bowl combine the brown sugar and cinnamon.  Sprinkle on top of the plums. 

  5. Bake a 350 for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.  Let cool on a wire rack before removing from the pan. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream either warm or at room temperature.
