Ingredients

Let’s see the ingredients needed to make the plumcake

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2.5 oz candied fruit (orange)
  • 2.5 oz sugar (you can go up to 3.5 oz for a sweeter taste)
  • 1 packet vanillin
  • 1 packet baking powder
  • 1 pinch fine salt
  • 0.7 oz liqueur (of your choice, e.g., rum)
  • 2 cups flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 0.7 oz pine nuts

Tools

  • 1 Electric Whisk
  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Plumcake Mold

Steps

  • In a mixing bowl, break the eggs, add the sugar, and a pinch of salt. Activate the electric whisk and beat the eggs until they become nice and frothy.

    Then add the vanillin and the sifted baking powder. Mix the batter again.

    Now add the liquid cream, the liqueur of your choice, and gradually the flour.

    When the batter is well combined and frothy, fold in 1.5 oz of orange candied fruit, the rest will be used to spread on top along with the pine nuts (if you like and prefer them).

    Once the batter is ready, butter and flour a plumcake mold, pour in the mixture, and decorate the surface with the remaining orange zest and pine nuts.

  • Preheat your oven to 338°F (STATIC MODE) and once at temperature, bake for about 42/43 minutes. Do the toothpick test before turning off the oven.

    Enjoy your soft and delicious plumcake.

The plumcake can be stored under a glass dome or in a bag like the ones used to store panettone at Christmas.

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
