Authentic Zwetschgendatschi: Bavarian Plum Cake Recipe [Vegan]

It is said that this cake originated in the German town of Augsburg. The local name for this kind of cake is “datschi,” but you can pretty much call any fruit cake with a yeast bottom a datschi. However, the plum version, “zwetschgendatschi,” is the most common. It’s a delightful yeasted cake covered with rosy red plum slices and a crumbly, nutty topping. Perfect while stone fruits are in season!
