Yep! I use the plums I can find where I live.

Indeed, German Plum Cake is one of the best ways to use up plums! If you have more to use up, try my Plum Butter (Pflaumenmus) recipe. 🙂

Thanks for coming back and letting me know how it worked! Here are a couple ideas for next time: Quark sweetened with powdered sugar and vanilla (that’s in a lot of German pastries so it might work – I have a homemade Quark recipe on the IDB if you want to make it from scratch) or try a custard type topping like in my German Apple Cream Cake (https://www.internationaldessertsblog.com/german-apfelkuchen-german-apple-custard-cake/). If your grandmother did a version with blueberries it makes me think it might have been a custard type top layer like in my apple cake. Good luck – it’s fun trying all the variations, isn’t it?

It turned out pretty well, but the creame cheese didn’t melt as well as I had hoped, but everyone enjoyed it just the same. I am trying again and see it I can replicate grandma’s plum dessert. She also did one with blueberries

I use Greek yogurt (or Quark). Plain yogurt has too much liquid in it. You *might* be able to use plain yogurt if you strain it for several hours – but I haven’t tried that so I don’t know for sure if it would work.

Let me know if you find it, I’m really curious about it now!
