Bake plum crumble cake with quark oil dough: Here's how
For the dough, mix the quark, milk and oil with the sugar and lemon zest in a bowl.
Mix the flour with the baking powder and sift them over.
Process everything with the dough hook of the hand mixer to a smooth dough.
Grease the baking pan.
Preheat the oven to 200°C top/bottom heat or 180°C fan.
On a floured work surface, roll out the dough slightly larger than the tin and line it, leaving a 2-centimetre border all the way around.
Wash, halve and stone the plums and cover the pastry base tightly with them.
For the crumbles, knead the flour, cinnamon, sugar, butter and milk in a bowl with your fingers to form crumbs.
Distribute the sprinkles evenly over the plums.
Bake the plum crumble cake in the hot oven on the middle shelf for 35-40 minutes.
Then leave to cool briefly in the mold.
Then carefully lift the cake onto a wire rack and let cool completely.
Happy baking and bon appétit!
