Hungarian Plum Cake (Szilvás Pite) 🇭🇺

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking pan.
2. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
3. Add butter and rub until crumbly. Mix in the egg and sour cream to form a soft dough.
4. Divide the dough into two portions. Roll out one portion and place it into the baking pan.
5. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the dough to absorb excess juice.
6. Arrange sliced plums evenly on top.
7. Mix sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over the plums.
8. Roll out the second dough portion and place it over the filling, or create a lattice top.
9. Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden brown.
10. Let cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Tips

• Use ripe but firm plums for the best texture.
