German plum cake (Pflaumenkuchen)

Plums are early this year and it’s been a good year for all the fruits. We especially enjoy this vegan plum cake. The cardamom gives it a very nice spicy flavor.

    I was actually googling for vegan plum cake three days ago but didn’t find a recipe that resembled what I was looking for. I had about 40 litres of plums at home and I’va made jam and boiled plums in syrup with most of them but I still want to make some cake. Thise recipe is pretty much what I was looking for. Thanks, I’ll be making some tonight!

    Your recipe looks absolutely fantastic! And your photos are beautiful.
    …is that whipped cream or do you have a recipe for a dairy-free version of that too?

    I’m so glad to have “met” you through the dairy-free round up.

    Hi, I’m considering making this cake but am confused by your directions. When you read # 4, it says to pour the batter onto a greased cookie sheet yet your picture would have one believe it was baked in a 9×13 pan. The final result appears to be much too high to have been baked in a cookie sheet. Please comment?
