Ingredients
to recalculate the ingredient amounts
- Whole wheat flour 120 g
- Potato starch 50 g
- Eggs 2
- Arborea Low-Fat Plain Yogurt 170 g
- Brown sugar 70 g
- Honey 30 g
- Sunflower oil 80 ml
- Baking powder 0.5 bustine
- Grated zest of 1 lemon
- Salt 1 pizzichi
- Milk q.b.
Instructions
- 1 Making this whole wheat yogurt plum cake is very simple. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the sugar, honey, grated lemon zest, and a pinch of salt, and beat with an electric mixer until well-stirred.
- 2 Gently and gradually add the yogurt to the frothy mixture, stirring with a spatula, taking care to combine everything by moving the spatula from top to bottom, so as not to deflate the mixture.
- 3 Sift the flour, baking powder, and starch together. Gently fold in half of the dry ingredients, then gradually add the oil. Add the remaining dry ingredients. Mix gently with a whisk until the mixture is smooth and uniform. If the mixture is too thick, add a little warmed milk.
- 2 Line a sufficiently large plum cake pan with parchment paper, pour in the batter, smooth it out with a spatula, and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F). The whole wheat plum cake will bake for about 40-45 minutes. To check if it's cooked through, always insert a toothpick into the cake before removing it from the oven: if it comes out clean, the whole wheat plum cake is ready. Let it cool to room temperature before enjoying. Once cooled, dust the surface with powdered sugar and serve.
