crumble topping | A little Swiss, a little Canadian

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!
