Recipe Reviews

I had trouble with this recipe. At first I though it was because I made it with cake flour (patent bloem) which is a stupid thing to do with a yeasted cake. It works better with all purpose or strong flour (as the recipe calls for), but ultimately I think the batter just has too much butter in it, leaving it too dense.

A lot of butter is beaten into the dough which makes it very tender. However, I've made other plum kuchen now and I think you can get away with less. See http://inthekitchenwithbarbara.blogspot.nl/2012/10/glut-of-plums-cake.html.

I've made the recipe at least 3 times now, and used other recipes as well, and the recipes that use less butter work better.

That being said, I'm beginning to develop a plum cake addiction and it started with this recipe!
