Sometimes you just need some comfort food! We love baked goodies with a generous Streusel topping! I have made similar cakes for many years, switching up the ingredients here and there, this time adding a bit of Marzipan to the Streusel turned out super yummy!
German Plumcake with Streusel
- 150 g spelt flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 140 g butter, soft
- 120 ml maple syrup, room temperature
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Streusel:
- 150 g spelt flour
- 100 g Marzipan, cut into small pieces
- 50 g coconut sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 100 g butter, room temperature, cut into small pieces
- about 13 plums, cut into quarters
-Line a 26 cm Springform pan with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350 F.
-Whisk the butter until creamy, add the eggs, combine well, add the maple syrup, vanilla extract and salt, whisk until well combined.
-Mix the baking powder and the flour then stir into the wet ingredients. Fill into prepared baking pan. Layer the plums on top of batter.
For the Streusel:
-Combine flour, sugar and cinnamon, add the Marzipan and butter. Mix with your fingers until crumbly. Spread evenly over plums.
-Bake in preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until tester inserted comes out clean.
Enjoy!

Plums are a favorite fruit of mine, and I’m a huge fan of marzipan, so I’m all in for this tasty looking cake! 🙂
