- Cut the cold butter in small pieces. Then add all other ingredients for the shortcrusts and knead them with your hands to a smooth dough. If necessary, you can add some cold water for the right texture.  
- Place the dough in plastic wrap in the fridge and let it cool for at least an hour. 
- During this time wash the plums and core them. I usually use as many plums as fit on the cake. So depending on how you like it best use more or less than 500 g of plums. 
- Now add all the ingredients for the crumble topping together until you get the wanted texture. 
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (Ober-/Unterhitze). 
- Coat a baking tray with butter and flour. 
- After the shortcrust dough has cooled down, roll it out and use a fork to prick into the dough. 
- Now arrange the plums as you want and place the crumbles on top. 
- Bake the cake for 50-60 minutes. 
- Now you just need to wait until it is cooled down and then enjoy!
