Every time Greta bakes this plum cake, she's transported back to her Omi's kitchen, where the smell of cinnamon and fresh plums meant love, laughter, and connection.
Her grandmother taught her that baking for others is a way to show care. That getting your hands messy is part of the magic. That food can hold memories and keep people close, even after they're gone.
This traditional German plum cake isn't just dessert. It's heritage. It's the afternoon kaffee und kuchen tradition her Omi cherished. It's the sound of their conversations over a warm slice and a cup of coffee.
Greta's Omi passed away when she was a teenager, but every time she makes this cake, she carries on her grandmother's legacy—one plum, one memory, one act of love at a time.
