So: \u003Ci\u003EPflaumen Streuselkuchen\u003C\/i\u003E.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe base of this \u003Ci\u003EPflaumen\u003C\/i\u003E \u003Ci\u003EStreuselkuchen\u003C\/i\u003E is a plain \u003Ci\u003ERührteig\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/i\u003E(literally a \"stirred dough\"), which is essentially a butter cake base. It's similar to a Victoria sponge, but with slightly different proportions. I've also found that for butter cake bases, the all-in-one method works really well. (This is a tip I learned from Mary Berry, and I use it all the time now). Rather than creaming the butter and sugar, then adding eggs one by one followed by the dry ingredients, you just place everything into the bowl of an electric\u0026nbsp; and beat for a few minutes until combined, light and fluffy. You do need to make sure the butter is properly soft, but other than that it's easy and effective.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Ctable align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Ctbody\u003E\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-zGFZsZvL7W8\/XHtFPcE2pdI\/AAAAAAACIUk\/q__aDonkYGkwF3x6qJ6M1g2_Dkut53GvQCLcBGAs\/s1600\/Ruehrteig.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"525\" data-original-width=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-zGFZsZvL7W8\/XHtFPcE2pdI\/AAAAAAACIUk\/q__aDonkYGkwF3x6qJ6M1g2_Dkut53GvQCLcBGAs\/s1600\/Ruehrteig.jpg\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/td\u003E\u003C\/tr\u003E\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ci\u003ERührteig\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/td\u003E\u003C\/tr\u003E\u003C\/tbody\u003E\u003C\/table\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAnd then I covered the base in plum slices!
