The dark chocolate plumcake without butter, milk, and eggs is a light dark chocolate plumcake and without added sugar, perfect for recycling Easter eggs and more.
A water-based plumcake made with whole wheat semolina and tritordeum flour: two interesting ingredients also in terms of the glycemic index, light, simple, and vegan for those looking for alternative sweets.

Sweet enough due to the addition of dark chocolate: leftover Easter chocolate or thin sheets or broken tablets.
When baked, the chocolate acquires a delicious creamy texture.

A less sweet dessert appreciated even by the most critical children.
