Steps

LET’S PREPARE THE PLUMCAKE

  • Place the chocolate chips in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and then start making the plumcake. Beat the eggs well with the sugar until fluffy, add the oil while continuing to beat, add the yogurt with the flavoring, and finally the flour with the sifted baking powder, mix, and add some of the chocolate chips. Pour everything into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper, add the rest of the chocolate chips on top, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes, then continue baking at 340°F (170°C). I used a convection oven. Do the toothpick test and adjust with your oven. Once done, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Below are some tips for making a perfect plumcake.

Use all fresh ingredients at room temperature, especially the yogurt, leave them out for at least 2 hours. Always sift flour and baking powder. In the first minutes of baking, the dome develops, so it’s essential to use a high temperature, then lower it only after the dome has developed; if you do it earlier, the dome won’t form. Another little trick: After pouring the batter into the pan, make a cut along the entire length with a sharp knife blade, this way the baking and the dome develop better, my grandma always did this.
