Directions

  1. 1

    Cream 125 g butter, 200 g sugar, vanillin sugar, lemon zest and eggs with the whisks of the hand mixer. Add milk and mix. Mix flour, salt, espresso powder and baking powder and stir into the egg-sugar mixture in portions

  2. 2

    Grease a square springform pan (24 x 24 cm) and sprinkle with flour. Pour in the dough and bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for approx. 45 minutes. If necessary, cover the cake with aluminium foil about 10 minutes before the end of the baking time.

  3. 3

    Wash the plums, dab dry, cut in half and remove the stones. Cut the plums into slices. Caramelise 100 g sugar in a pan until golden. Add 25 g butter, plum wedges and lemon juice and bring to the boil (caramel must have dissolved completely). Mix starch and 2 tablespoons of water, pour into the plums and let simmer for about 5 minutes while stirring. Remove the plums from the heat, stir in the cognac and allow to cool

  4. 4

    Remove the cake from the oven and spread plums on top. Beat the egg whites until stiff and gradually add 175 g sugar. Fold in grated coconut. Carefully spread the meringue mixture with a tablespoon, leaving an approx. 1 cm wide rim. Bake for another 15 minutes at the same temperature.

  5. 5

    Remove the cake from the oven. Remove the cake from the edge with a knife and let it cool in the mould on a cake rack for at least 3 hours
