After several days of 95 degree weather, it was cool enough today to wear a sweater. Has fall arrived too soon? Everyone at the bakery must have been thinking fall, because the Zwetschgenkuchen (plum cake) quickly sold out, and all that was left by early afternoon were cakes loaded with whipped cream or chocolate mousse, typical Sunday cakes.
Zwetschgenkuchen is an Autumn dessert. You'll find it on seasonal menus and or as a daily blackboard special. It's made with plums, but not Pflaumen(plums) as I used to think, but rather with Zwetschgen (plums). What's the difference between one plum and another? I asked that question myself and here's what I learned: Pflaumen have a cling pit, while Zwetschgen have a pit that easily separates fromthe flesh of the fruit. And it's Zwetschgen that are used in Germany's traditional plum cake.
Zwetschgenkuchenis made with Italian plums--small, oval, purple plums--layered on a yeasted dough and is typicallyserved with a whole lot of whipped cream as shown in the photo above. It's one more sign of the changing seasonshere in Germany.
