  • 5 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 1/2 oz Grana Padano grated cheese (or Parmesan)
  • 5 1/4 oz feta cheese
  • 2 3/4 oz sun-dried tomatoes in oil (drained weight)
  • 2 3/4 oz Taggiasca olives
  • 1 packet instant yeast for savory preparations (15 g)
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • black pepper

Tools

  • 1 Bowl
  • 1 Hand whisk
  • 1 Sieve fine mesh
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Loaf pan 11/12 inches

Preparation of the Super Soft Savory Plumcake

  • Drain the sun-dried tomatoes well from their preserving oil and cut them into small pieces. 

  • Cut the feta cheese into small cubes. 

  • Roughly chop the Taggiasca olives. 

  • Crack the eggs into a large bowl and lightly beat them with a small hand whisk.

  • Then add the flour by sifting it through a fine mesh sieve and blend it with the eggs, softening the mixture with the warm milk.

  • Pour in the oil and mix again, then add the grated cheese.

  • At this point, add the feta, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and salt, and mix everything well.

  • Finally, season with plenty of freshly ground black pepper and add the instant yeast for savory preparations, sifting it through a fine mesh sieve.

  • Pour the mixture into a loaf pan 11/12 inches long, previously greased and floured or lined with parchment paper. If you choose the latter option, you can find the full procedure by clicking HERE.

  • Bake the plumcake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for 45 minutes, covering it with a sheet of foil in the last 10 minutes of baking if it browns too much.

    Remove it from the pan, let it cool slightly, and serve it sliced. I recommend enjoying it warm. Enjoy! Paola
