Ingredients
Cake batter:
- 2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream at room temperature, fat content around 30 %
- ½ cup milk at room temperature
- 3 medium egg at room temperature
- 1 Tablespoon lemon freshly grated, zest
Streusel topping:
- ¾ tick butter unsalted
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Misc.:
- 1 ½ pounds plum pitted
- ½ Tablespoon butter to grease the baking pan, unsalted
- 2 Tablespoons breadcrumbs to dust the baking pan
Instructions
- Before you start cooking: Take out 3 medium eggs, ½ cup milk, and 1 cup heavy cream from the fridge an hour before to bring them to room temperature. Grease a baking pan with ½ Tablespoon unsalted butter and dust it with 2 Tablespoons breadcrumbs. Cut 1 ½ pounds pitted plums into small pieces. Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
- Make streusel topping: Cut the cold ¾ stick unsalted butter into ¾ cup all-purpose flour, then add ½ cup granulated sugar and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Using your fingertips, work everything into a crumbly mixture.
- Let’s bake: Sift 2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder into a large mixing bowl. Add 1 cup granulated sugar, heavy cream, milk, 1 Tablespoon lemon zest, and eggs. Start stirring with a fork, then use a hand-held mixer on a lower speed to mix until a semi-liquid batter is created.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Spread the plums evenly over the entire surface of the cake. As a final step, sprinkle the crumbly streusel topping on top.
- Bake the streusel cake for 30 minutes until golden brown.

Notes
- The basic recipe makes about 25 pieces.
- Allow the cake to cool, then cut into regular rectangles and serve as a coffee cake on a dessert plate. You can also dust the cake with powdered sugar before serving.
- Plums are not essential for this streusel cake. If you don't have plums, substitute other fruits, such as raspberries, strawberries, or grated apples.
- The amount of batter in this recipe is enough for a rectangular baking pan about 12x14 inches (30x35 cm). The cake will be relatively thin but moist. If you want a higher layer of batter, use a smaller pan.
