Plum Streusel Kuchen image

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. We enjoy this German plum cake with ice cream or whipped cream, too. -Lisa Warkentin, Winnipeg, Manitoba
