Plum cake from a tin with sprinkles

This week we tried a plum cake made out of batter. We still had plums from the previous year in the freezer. We wanted to use this up before the harvest of this year comes. Looking for a recipe, I came across a recipe from Kochbar for a plum cake with marzipan and almond sprinkles. This was different from the cake we usually make. We prepare our usual plum cake with yeast dough. However, since there was not much time for baking this time, we decided to make a batter. Of the Cake it becomes fluffier. However, it doesn't stay fresh as long and is less juicy than the cake with yeast dough. The sprinkles soak up the juice of the plums. Therefore, you should not keep it too long, if possible.

It tastes even better with a dab of whipped cream.

The preparation is simple and quick. Especially with plums from the freezer.
