Zwetschgendatschi (German Plum Sheet Cake)
Ingredients
4 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 cup white sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla sugar, 2 pinches salt, 1 ⅓ cups unsalted butter, room temperature and cut into chunks, 2 large eggs, 2 ¼ pounds Italian prune plums, halved and pitted, 2 tablespoons white sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature and cut into chunks, 1 tablespoon sliced almonds (Optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine flour and baking powder, then mix in 1 cup sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt. Incorporate 1 1/3 cups butter and eggs, kneading until smooth. Chill the flattened dough ball in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and grease a baking sheet. Slice halved plums into fans and roll the dough out to cover the bottom and sides of the sheet. Arrange the plums on the dough, then top with a mixture of 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon, dots of 2 tablespoons butter, and almonds. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the crust is lightly browned. Allow the cake to cool before cutting into squares for serving.
