Preparation

1. Knead the dough

Work the butter, sugar, vanilla sugar, egg, flour, baking powder, and salt into a smooth shortcrust dough.

2. Form the crumble

Place all ingredients in a bowl and rub them together with your hands until crumbly. Chill until needed.

3. Stir together the filling

Stir the quark, cream cheese, sugar, vanilla pudding powder, and eggs together briefly until you have a creamy mixture.

4. Prepare the fruit

Wash, pit, and dice the plums.

5. Simmer the filling

Heat the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and the cornstarch mixed smooth with 1 tbsp water in a pan. Add the plums and simmer while stirring until the mixture thickens slightly.

6. Make the shortcrust base

Knead the shortcrust ingredients into a smooth dough. Press it firmly into a greased 27 cm springform pan so that the base and the sides are covered about 3 cm high.

7. Mix the cheesecake filling

Briefly stir together the quark, cream cheese, sugar, vanilla pudding powder, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and combined.

8. Cook the plum filling

Peel, pit, and dice the plums. Heat the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and the cornstarch mixed smooth with 1 tbsp water in a pan, then add the plums and simmer everything while stirring until it comes together and thickens slightly.

9. Assemble the cake

Spread the cheesecake mixture over the dough. Spoon the plum filling on top and finish by scattering the crumble evenly over the surface.

10. Bake and cool

Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 180°C top and bottom heat for about 60 minutes. Let it cool completely so the filling can set, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
