Let’s Start!
Break the eggs, place them in a bowl with the sugar and start beating them with an electric mixer until you get a creamy and compact foam.
Pour the yogurt and oil over the beaten eggs and mix again, also add the grated citrus zests, being careful not to take the white part.
Combine the flour and the baking powder, then sift them into the previously obtained mixture, also adding the milk. Mix again to complete the plumcake batter.
Take the plumcake pan, grease it and lightly flour it, then pour the batter into it and bake in a preheated oven at a temperature of 340°F for 45/50 minutes. Always check before removing from the oven by doing the toothpick test. Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake, if it comes out dry and clean, it is cooked.
