Today I am sharing the recipe for sugar-free plumcake, a low glycemic index cake (with low glycemic flour) perfect for those following a healthy diet (whether for health reasons or lifestyle choices). This plumcake with stevia, for example, was born from my need to have desserts that wouldn’t spike my blood sugar too much (given my recent diabetes), and after many attempts, this cake was created. It’s perfect for breakfast and snacks for the whole family. Now head to the kitchen to try this cake that stays super soft for days!

Ingredients for Low Glycemic Index Sugar-Free Plumcake
- 2 3/4 cups low glycemic index flour (mix with type 1 flour and resistant starch)
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup sweetener (stevia)
- 1 packet baking powder
- 3/4 cup water
- 2 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
Useful Tools
- Stand Mixer
- Loaf Pan
- Kitchen Scale
- Bowl
- Spatula
Preparation of Sugar-Free Plumcake
In the bowl of the stand mixer, pour the eggs, stevia, water, and oil, and operate at speed 4 for 5 minutes or until a frothy mixture is obtained (it will only take a few minutes).
Add the flour and the baking powder (preferably sifted) to the liquid mix, and operate the mixer at speed 4 for 4 minutes until a thick but smooth and lump-free mixture is obtained.
Lightly oil and flour the loaf pan (or use parchment paper if preferred), pour the batter inside, and level it with a silicone spatula.
Preheat the oven to 392°F, and once at temperature, bake the plumcake for 30/35 minutes. By the end of cooking, the cake should be golden brown. Once cooked, remove it from the oven, let it cool, and enjoy!

Advice
Always do the toothpick test towards the end of baking; if it comes out dry, the cake is done (baking times may vary slightly, as every oven is different).
FAQ (Questions and Answers)
Can I use all-purpose flour?
No, because all the other ingredients, especially the liquids, would need to be recalculated.
