This recipe is actually called ”platz” in German, meaning ”flat,” and has been in my family since before I was born. The fresh fruits of summer make it a favorite, and it’s simply wonderful warm out of the oven.

The batter was so thin that I poured, not "press"ed, it into the pan. Then, the topping was also mostly liquid; I had to goop it onto the plums, it did not sprinkle at all. I think I'll leave out the liquid from the topping and use less in the batter/dough next time.

Additionally, it took an extra 10 minutes to cook the cake and the topping was still raw.

It did taste alright though.
