Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- vanilla extract
- 7 tbsp butter (softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup strong espresso (cooled)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- a pinch of salt
- 3.5 oz dark chocolate chips
Preparation
Start by separating the yolks from the whites. Place the yolks in a bowl and beat with the sugar until you obtain a pale and fluffy mixture.
Add the softened butter cut into pieces and continue to beat until you get a smooth and homogeneous cream.
Add the cooled strong espresso and the vanilla extract. Fold in the sifted flour with the baking powder and mix until you obtain a soft, well-blended batter.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter little by little, mixing from the bottom up with a spatula so as not to deflate them.
Add the chocolate chips and mix to distribute them evenly in the batter.
Butter and flour a loaf pan of about 12 inches, pour the batter inside and level the surface with a spatula.
Bake in a preheated conventional oven at 356°F for about 45 minutes; perform the skewer test to check doneness: if it comes out dry, the plumcake is ready.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely, then carefully unmold it and place it on a serving platter.
Your coffee plumcake with chocolate chips is ready to be enjoyed!
