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.
