Plum cake

The introduction

Hello everyone, I hope that you are all doing just fine!

In this article I want to tell you about this recipe, which I prepared the other day. It’s kind of made up by me and it should have been a little sour, not very sweet, though it didn’t really have that very plum taste as I was expecting.

Well, if you like not very sweet cakes and without any cream filling or something like that, you can try and bake this cake.

Ingredients:

• Eggs, 2 medium;
• White granulated sugar, 1 cup;
• Plain yogurt or matsoni, 1 cup;
• Baking soda, 1 teaspoon;
• Oil, 2 tablespoons;
• Drops of vinegar;
• All purpose flour, 1 and a half cup;
• Oat bran, 1 tablespoon;
• Cinnamon;
• Vanilla;
• Plums, 5-6.

Preparation process

1. You take those two eggs and break them in another bowl, so that you won’t have any bad ones in your main bowl. Then you take one cup of sugar and add it to them and mix them together very well.
2. After this, you add some drops of vinegar to one teaspoon of baking soda and then you put that baking soda into a cup full of plain yogurt or matsoni or whatever you have and whisk it.
3. Then you add two tablespoons of oil to the mixture in the bowl and mix them together all very well. I do that with my chopper-blender, which does a pretty good job doing that.
4. Now you mix one and a half cup of flour and some vanilla and cinnamon and oat bran together.

   

5. After that, you add the dry mixture to the bowl and mix them all together.
6. You take 5 or 6 plums and peel them and have them cut into small pieces, so that you can put them into the dough mixture. Well, I peeled them, though it may have been better if I had just cut them with the peel on them, so that the cake would have a better plum taste.
7. I got this cake baking form and greased it with some oil and poured some dough filling into it, then I put some of those plum pieces into the dough and added some dough on top of it and added the remaining plum pieces and after that I poured the remaining dough filling on top.
8. And it was ready to be baked!

   

9. I turned my convection oven on 180 degrees Celsius for about 50 minutes and put the baking form inside of it on a low rack and waited for the cake to get baked.
10. After 50 minutes the convection oven was turned off and I took the baking form out of it and turned it upside down. I kind of knocked on the sides of that baking form and after some time the cake was out and it was pretty good!

    

Well, that was my plum cake and it was really delicious, however, I could have used more plums for it to be even plumier! You should consider that, too. And I will do that another time when I bake this kind of cake again! Until that, I’m just happy with my baking. And I must say that if you don't like very sweet stuff, you will definitely like this one, especially if you love sponge cakes, you will like this, of course. However, if you want to have it sweeter, you can always add some sugar, certainly. But trust me, this one was pretty good as it was.
