Directions

  1. 1

    Warm the milk slightly in a pot, crumble the yeast into it and dissolve it while stirring. Sift the flour, put it in a bowl and make a depression in the middle. For the pre-dough, pour the yeast milk into the hollow and mix with some flour from the rim to a thick paste.

  2. 2

    Spread the sugar on the flour rim. Cover the bowl with a clean tea towel. Leave in a warm place for about 20 minutes until it bubbles and doubles in volume.

  3. 3

    Dice fat. Add to the pre-dough with the egg and work everything into a smooth dough with the dough hooks of the hand mixer. Knead vigorously with your hands on a floured work surface until bubbles appear.

  4. 4

    Cover the yeast dough and let it rise again in a warm place for about 30 minutes until the volume has doubled. Lightly dust the baking tray with flour. Roll out the dough evenly. Sprinkle dough evenly with breadcrumbs.

  5. 5

    Scald apricots briefly with boiling water, rinse with cold water and peel the skin. Halve and stone the fruit. Wash and drain plums and gooseberries. Cut the plums lengthwise and stone them.

  6. 6

    Cleaning gooseberries. Cover one third of the yeast dough with apricots, plums and gooseberries. This makes the cake nice and juicy. For the crumbles, put fat, flour and sugar in a bowl. Mix the ingredients with the dough hooks of the hand mixer to make crumbles.

  7. 7

    Cut the crowd in thirds. Cut the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the pulp. Mix the vanilla pulp with part of the crumbles. Season the second part with ginger and the third part with cinnamon. Sprinkle ginger crumble over the apricots, cinnamon crumble over the plums and vanilla crumble over the gooseberries.

  8. 8

    Bake in the preheated oven (electric oven: 200 °C/ gas: level 3) for about 45 minutes. If the crumbles get too dark, cover with aluminium foil about 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time. Let the cake cool down and cut into pieces.

  9. 9

    Results in about 18 pieces.
