Fruity in taste, intense thanks to the addition of cinnamon, juicy thanks to the excellent sauce. Goes well with many sweet dishes. For example, with my plum dumplings.

Interesting to know

What is the difference between plums and prunes? Damsons and plums are two different types of stone fruit that differ in size and taste. Damsons taste slightly sweeter than plums and are firmer in texture. Both fruits can be eaten raw or processed into various dishes, although plums are often eaten fresh due to their juiciness.

This vegan plum cake is especially moist and delicious. You can bake it as a large cake in a baking pan or as small individual round cake pieces. The plum cake is made entirely without oil. The topping is a glaze made of plum jelly. This makes it especially moist and delicious. For the dough, whole spelt flour is used. This makes the dough firmer, but here is still the whole grain contained.

Plum cake

I love them, these little cakes topped with plums and a glaze. As a small version to the big cake, they are a real finger food. You can take them everywhere. Whether for leisure or as a small snack at work.

Plum cake

I prefer the smaller version of my plum cake as here in the picture, because you can freeze the cake better. The small plum cake you can quickly take out of the freezer if necessary and bake up briefly.

  • 350 g whole spelt flour
  • 1 sachet baking powder
  • 50 g tapioca starch

  • 250 g plums

  • 1 tbsp date flour = approx. 15 g
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 sachets agar agar

Instructions

  • Wash the millet.
  • Wash, core and chop the apple.
  • Put the apple and millet in a pot with 250 ml of water and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Then pour into a blender. If water is still needed, add a little.
  • Add the date flour to the blender as well.
  • Blend everything until creamy.
  • In a bowl, mix the whole spelt flour with the baking powder.
  • Add tapioca starch, locust bean gum and cinnamon.
  • Add the soy yogurt and the juice of half a lemon to the dry ingredients.
  • Stir everything in well.
  • Chill the dough covered for 1 hour. Either in the refrigerator or in the cellar.

Covering

  • In the meantime, prepare the plums. To do this, wash the plums, pit them and cut them into small oblong pieces. You will need about 600 g of plums for the topping. Depending on how thick you want to cover the plum cake.

For the cake

  • Remove small portions of the dough with well-floured hands.
  • Flatten slightly and place on a baking sheet with baking paper.
  • Spread the finely chopped plums on the dough.
  • Bake in preheated oven at 180 degrees celsius top/bottom heat for 30 minutes.
  • If you want to bake a whole plum cake, take a round baking pan and line it with baking paper. Then spread the dough on it with floured hands. Cover with the plums.

Glaze

  • For the glaze, wash, stone and chop 250 g of plums.
  • Place in a pot with 500 ml of water.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of date flour and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
  • Simmer everything together for about 10 to 15 minutes, until the plums are soft.
  • Then strain the plums.
  • Whisk the broth with 2 sachets of agar agar and simmer in the pot for 2 – 5 minutes.
  • Cool slightly until a light jelly-like substance is formed.
  • Spoon the plum jelly over the finished and cooled plum cake or plum gingerbread and spread.
  • Then allow to cool.

Tips

The dough is very soft. Therefore, another approx. 50 g whole spelt flour is needed to form the individual small dough pieces. If you don’t want the icing to be so firm, take only 1 sachet of agar agar.

Interesting to know

I use whole spelt flour because it contains the whole grain with all the minerals. Date flour is excellent for sweetening.
