Water-based Plumcake without Butter – also Bimby, super soft and very fragrant with vanilla. An easy and quick Bimby recipe, ideal for those with little time and this wonderful appliance. Of course, it can also be prepared with electric whisks, so I’ll also write the procedure without Bimby.
Surely it’s the breakfast cake I love the most because the slices are perfect for spreading with jam or, as my son does, with homemade hazelnut cream.
Moreover, this recipe, like that of the chocolate plumcake without butter, is perfect for those who are lactose intolerant and for those who want to be lighter.
Let’s discover this plumcake delight together.

How to prepare the Water-based Plumcake without Butter – also Bimby
In a bowl, I beat the eggs together with the sugar until they are frothy and pale.
I add the vanilla extract, water, and the oil slowly, continuing to whisk.
I lower the speed of the whisks and incorporate the flour and the sifted baking powder in several additions.
I pour the batter into a 10-inch mold, sprinkle the surface with granulated sugar and bake in the oven at 350°F for 45 minutes. The time may vary from oven to oven. Once cooked, I leave it a couple of minutes in the turned-off oven with the door open.
Once out of the oven, I let it cool well before removing it from the mold.
