Servings: 15

500 g Plums
225 g Butter or margarine
200 g Sugar
1 package Vanillin sugar
3 Eggs (size M)
1/2 can(s) (approx. 220 g) Chestnut purée
175 g Flour
2 TEASPOONS Pack of baking powder
1/2 TEASPOON Cinnamon powder
75 ml + 2 tablespoons of milk
80 g Cornflakes
50 g white chocolate
7-10 Tbsp Fat and flour

Directions

1
Wash the plums, drain, halve and stone them. Cream 125 g fat, 100 g sugar and vanilla sugar with the whisk of the hand mixer. Stir in the eggs one after the other. Stir in chestnut purée.
2
Mix flour, baking powder and cinnamon and stir in alternately with the milk.
3
Fill about half of the dough into a greased, flour-pocketed box form (11 x 30 cm; 7 cm high). Place about half of the plums on the dough, close together. Spread the rest of the dough on the plums and cover with the remaining fruit.
4
Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ circulating air: 150 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for about 30 minutes.
5
Meanwhile, bring 100 g fat, 100 g sugar and 2 tablespoons milk to the boil in a saucepan. Let simmer for about 5 minutes at low heat, stir in cornflakes. Cover the cake with the cornflakes mixture and continue to bake at the same temperature for about 20 minutes.
6
Take out and let cool on a cake rack.
7
Carefully remove the cake from the mould and place it on a cake plate. Roughly chop the chocolate and melt it over a warm water bath. Decorate the cake with chocolate.
