This is the best Zwetschgenkuchen recipe I've ever tried. The cake is so moist and flavorful, and the plums are the perfect finishing touch.

I had a hard time finding fresh plums, so I used frozen ones instead. The cake still turned out great!

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I was hesitant to make this cake because I'm not a big fan of plums, but I'm glad I did! The cake was surprisingly delicious. The plums were not overpowering and the cake was perfectly sweet.
