Zwetschgen-Kuchen-Stückchen :D
(phon.: TSVETSHKEN-KOOHEN-SHTYCKHIEN)
(Plum-Cake-Pieces)

(Gronkalonkalonkad)ingredients:
½ Cube Yeast (0,4 oz)
1 Teaspoon Sugar
1/8 Liter lukewarm Milk (8,5 Tablesp.)
60 g Margarine (2,1 oz)
375 g Flour (13,2 oz)
75 g Sugar (2,6 oz)
1 pinch of Salt
½ Teasp grated Lemon Peel
1 Egg
2 kg Zwetschgen (Plums) (4,4 pounds)

Cover/w:
2-3 Tablespoon Sugar
1-2 Teaspoon Cinnamon

1.) Dissolve cut up yeast and sugar in the milk, cover it and let it rise in a warm place for 10 minutes.

2.) Melt the margarine. Stir it up with flour, sugar, salt, lemon peel an the egg in a bowl. Then mix with the yeast dough. Use the dough-hooks (I don’t know if that’s the correct word) to model a plain dough. Let it rise again, covered up, to double-size in a warm place.

3.) Meanwhile wash the plums, cut them into half and remove the stones. Grease the bakingtray. Roll out the dough and put it on the tray. Cover it with the plums. Bake in preheated oven at 225 °C for about 30 minutes.

4.) Mix up the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle it over the Zwetschgenkuchen after 20 minutes bakingtime.

this is close to my mom's recipe (she's German), which i've veganized, but i've found that here in the US you really have to use fresh prunes vs. plums for the zwetschgen kuchen. the plums here in the us are too big or maybe it's a translation thing?

i just made dampfnudeln last week. they were yummy.

So prunes are the smaller ones and plums the bigger ones?
Anyway it was quite hard to translate a recipe. You don't use
words like "yeast" every day…

Thanks for the translation-help :)

I thought prunes were dried plums.

i've bought fresh prunes for zwetschgenkuchen at my local Whole Foods.


here's a link.....you are right, typically here in the US prunes are sold dried vs. fresh:
