Plum cake with Streusel
Dough for one big baking pan (ovensize):
200 g (7,05 oz) quark
100 g (3,53 oz) sugar
6 tablespoons milk
1 egg
8 tablespoons oil
2 teaspoons vanillasugar
400 g (14,11 oz) all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch of salt
Blend all the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Make a deepening in the middle. Add all the other ingredients to the deepening, combine there and slowly mix with the dry ingredients. Form a ball. Spread onto the greased baking pan. Cover generously with plums.
Streusel:
250 g (8,82 oz) all-purpose flour
125 g (4,41 oz) sugar
150 g (5,29 oz) soft butter or margarine
Blend together flour and sugar in a mixing bowl. Add butter or margarine, cut into the flour-sugar mix. Make a crumble mixture. Spread it over the plums.
Bake at about 180°C (350°F) until the Streusel are golden brown. You can use apples instead of plums, too.
If you cannot find Quark or if it’s too expensive, I’d propose a mixture of half yogurt, half creme cheese, since Quark probably resembles creme cheese most, but has less fat. Just try it out and tell me if it works! (I hope I converted the grams and °F correctly.)
Good luck with baking!
