German Plum Rolls (Zwetschgenschnecken) image

In Germany, cakes made with plum are very popular. This variation can be made as either a whole cake or as individual 'tarts.' I call them 'rolls' due to their appearance. They are very delicious on a Sunday fall afternoon with a hot cup of tea! They're best when still warm and served with whipped cream!

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup chopped almonds
1 ⅓ cups cream cheese
½ cup milk
½ cup vegetable oil
1 pinch salt
⅝ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup baking powder
⅞ cup plum butter
1 ¾ pounds plums, pitted and diced
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 10-inch springform pan.
  • Place a skillet over medium-high heat. Toast the almonds in the hot skillet until they turn brown; set aside to cool.
  • Combine the cream cheese, milk, oil, salt, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Mix in the flour and baking powder; knead together until smooth. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface, and roll the dough into a 20-inch square. Spread the plum butter, plums, and toasted almonds over the dough. Roll the dough up tightly like a jelly roll. Cut into 12 even slices. Arrange rolls in prepared pan. Brush butter over top of the rolls.
  • Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 40 to 55 minutes.
