Easy to prepare and ideal to accompany with jams, creams, or simply enjoyed on its own, this plumcake is a sweet treat that wins over at the first bite. Great for an afternoon tea or a genuine breakfast, it’s a simple but always irresistible recipe. If you love plumcakes, try the lemon plumcake or the chocolate plumcake.

Steps for the preparation of cream plumcake
In a bowl, break the eggs. Work them with the electric whisks adding the sugar. Beat until they are light and fluffy.
Add the sifted flour, cornstarch, and yeast. Add the fresh cream (not whipped). Flavor with lemon zest and finish with a pinch of salt. Work everything again until you get a homogeneous mixture.
Pour the mixture into a plumcake mold lined with parchment paper. Make a groove in the middle and pour a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Place in the oven at 340°F, ventilated, and bake for 35-45 minutes; do a toothpick test to ensure it’s done. Once cooked, let it cool and bring it to the table with powdered sugar.
