Instructions

Working time approx. 1 hour; Cooking/baking time approx. 35 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 35 minutes

consisting of 2 doughs, sponge and shortcrust pastry

For the shortcrust pastry base, knead the ingredients with a food processor or hand mixer, shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in cling film, and refrigerate for about 1 hour. If desired, prepare the crumble dough. Briefly knead the ingredients into small, coarse crumbles. For the apple tray cake, peel the apples and cut into slices or small pieces. For a plum tray cake, core and halve the plums. If desired, place the apple pieces in a bowl with a mixture of cinnamon and lemon juice and mix. You can do the same with the plums. Alternatively, you can mix cinnamon with sugar and sprinkle it on the baked cake. The sponge cake is now ready to prepare with all the ingredients. Remove the shortcrust pastry from the refrigerator and roll it out on baking paper, ideally the size of the baking tray. Place it on the baking tray with the baking paper, pressing the dough down to the edges of the tray. Now carefully spread the batter evenly over the rolled-out shortcrust pastry. Then arrange the fruit on top (plums inside out). Sprinkle with crumble topping, if desired. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (top/bottom heat) or 180 degrees Celsius (fan oven). Place the baking sheet in the middle rack and bake for 30-40 minutes, depending on the desired browning.
