Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour; ½ tsp baking powder; ¼ tsp baking soda; ½ tsp ground cinnamon; ¼ tsp ground cardamom; Pinch of ground cloves; ⅓ cup unsalted butter, softened; ⅓ cup brown sugar; 1 large egg; ⅓ cup plain yogurt; ½ tsp vanilla extract; 3 ripe plums, halved and pitted; 2 tbsp honey; 1 tbsp water; ¾ cup mascarpone cheese, room temperature; 2 tbsp powdered sugar; 1 tbsp black poppy seeds; ½ tsp vanilla extract; 30g pretzel sticks, broken into ¾-inch pieces; 3 tbsp sugar (for brittle); 1 tbsp unsalted butter; Fleur de sel

A jewel-toned, deeply moist spiced plum cake studded with caramelized plum halves, paired with a luxurious black poppy seed mascarpone cream (inspired by Bavarian poppy seed strudel), and topped with shards of crispy pretzel brittle. It's a modern interpretation of Black Forest tradition—autumn spice, summer stone fruit, and playful crunch all in one sophisticated bite.
