Preparation of Sugar-Free Plumcake
In the bowl of the stand mixer, combine the eggs, stevia, water, and oil, and mix at speed 4 for 5 minutes or until you get a frothy mixture (it will only take a few minutes).
Add the flour and baking powder (preferably sifted) to the liquid mix and mix at speed 4 for 4 minutes until you get a thick but smooth batter without lumps.
Lightly oil and flour the plumcake mold (or use parchment paper if you prefer), pour in the batter, and level it with a silicone spatula.
Preheat the oven to 392°F and once at temperature, bake the plumcake for 30/35 minutes. At the end of cooking, the cake should be golden brown. Once cooked, remove it from the oven, let it cool down, and enjoy!

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