How to Prepare Authentic Zwetschgendatschi: Bavarian Plum Cake Recipe [Vegan]

To Make the Dough:

Add the flour to a big bowl, then the warmed soy milk as well as the yeast. Knead everything until smooth, then let it sit for 15 minutes.
Add the sugar, butter, vanilla and salt and whisk the dough with a wooden spoon or dough hooks. At a warm place let it rise for at least 30 minutes.

To Prepare the Filling and Crumble:

First wash the plums, then cut them in half and remove the stone.
Prepare the crumble by combining all the ingredients. Use your hands; the crumble should be the texture of chunky wet sand.
On a floured working space, roll out the dough into a rectangle, top it first with the plums, then sprinkle it with the crumble.
Bake at 375°F for 35-45 minutes. If you prefer a crispy crumble, increase the heat to 430°F for the last 10 minutes.
Enjoy plain or with some vegan ice cream or whipped cream.
