Since I found the only store now I've ever seen in the US to sell Italian prunes, I not only tried out the prune dumplings from your recipe (yummy!) but also this one. Actually, I made my second Zwetschgendatschi this year just yesterday. It's sooo good!! Love the recipe! However, I doubled the amount of prunes. I had a bit over 1100g, and that was just the right amount for one tray.

i love your blog! but im a litte confused. when i interned last summer at recklinghausen, my boss called it pflaumkuechen.. how is it that everyone calls it zwetschgendatschi! it kinda makes it sound japanese to me too. ::/ Hi Michelle, No need to be confused, "Zwetschgendatschi" is a colloquial expression used in the South of Germany, especially in Bavaria.

I love love love zwetschgendatschi! It has a special meaning for me because my grandmother always makes it when I'm visiting. For me the worlds best zwetschgendatschi - with crumbles of course.
But because I see my granny usually just ones a year I have to find some good options. So this could be one to get over the time without my grannys datschi :)

wow, how did I miss this? I'm going to try to make some California-equivalent version of this cake before Sherry returns...

Das hört sich großartig an (und sieht auch so aus)! Nach genau so einem Rezept habe ich gesucht. Ich hoffe, es klappt auch, wenn ich Trockenhefe nehme, aber ich werd´s auf jeden Fall ausprobieren.

You have great quality photos of your food on here. I always find your food so appealing. I will probably try this recipe later but doubt it will come out like yours.
