Plumย  Kuchen is my recipeย  of theย  day with Fall Flavors week.ย  All this week we will be posting recipesย  using ourย  favorite autumn flavors. There isย  also a giveaway soย  make sure you enter that at theย  bottomย  ย of theย  post.

Plum Kuchen

The Weeklyย  Schedule

Plumย  kuchenย  isย  my recipe for today as I said.ย  I willย  also beย  posting Bread Puddingย  with Crรจme Anglaise onย  Wednesday and thenย  onย  Friday I will finish up with Pistachio andย  marmalade Crustedย  Brie with Figs, a recipe which wasย  inspired by one I saw Jacquesย  Pepin make with brie cheese.

Ofย  course,ย  thereย  will be other recipes you can findย  byย  searchingย  socialย  media for #FallFlavors, asย  on Tuesday I will be postingย  with Bread bakers and then on Thursdayย  with Improv Cooking. Youย  can always check my groupsย  scheduleย  in the rightย  hand margin.ย  Other days Iย  will be postingย  by chance.

Topping theย  Batter with Italianย  Plums

Topping theย  Batter with Italianย  Plums

Locally Inspiredย  and Sourced

Thisย  kuchen wasย  inspired by aย  suggestion by aย  localย  market who announcedย  they had the Italian Plums in from Eshleman Fruit Farm in Clyde, OH. And noted that they were “perfect for your Plaumenkuchen recipes” (which in fact they were.)

Iย  thought to add someย  frangipaneย  to the filling as I have been wantedย  to test outย  making thatย  with an almond flourย  instead of usingย  a foodย  processor. Itย  in fact, works out great.

Toppings Added-ย  Readyย  toย  Bake!

The Italianย  plums were really tasty and Iย  noted to myself that the batter willย  easilyย  supportย  using slightly largerย  plums if needed.

Iย  was extremelyย  pleasedย  with theย  results of using the frangipaneย  in the coffee cake,ย  so look for itย  toย  pop upย  in other recipes.
