This cake is low in fat and not too sweet. The glaze is optional, it takes a minute to prepare and adds only a few more calories. Great way to use up fresh plumbs in season. We like it best without the glaze, which also helps the diabetic.

Tips:

  • For the Perfect Streusel Topping: Ensure your streusel mixture is coarse and crumbly. You can achieve this by using your fingertips to work in the butter until the mixture resembles small pebbles.
  • Chilling the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking allows the flavors to meld and develop, resulting in a more complex and flavorful coffee cake. It also prevents the streusel topping from sinking into the batter.
  • Properly Measuring Flour: Avoid scooping flour directly from the bag, as this can result in a dense coffee cake. Instead, use a spoon to gently scoop the flour into a measuring cup and level it off with a knife.
  • Fresh Fruit: Using fresh plums is essential for the best flavor and texture in your coffee cake. Look for ripe, firm plums with deep, rich colors.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense coffee cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. A few small lumps are perfectly acceptable.
  • Plums Sinking to the Bottom: To prevent the plums from sinking to the bottom of the coffee cake, toss them in a bit of flour before adding them to the batter. This will help them stay suspended throughout the cake.
  • Baking Time: Keep an eye on the coffee cake during baking. The streusel topping should be golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

Indulge in the delightful flavors of this delectable Plum Streusel Coffee Cake. With its moist, tender crumb, sweet and juicy plums, and a crunchy streusel topping, this coffee cake is sure to impress. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet treat, it's a treat that will satisfy your sweet cravings.
