Ingredients (for a 9×5 inch / 22×12 cm loaf pan)
- 200g (1 2/3 cups) all-purpose flour (plain flour)
- 3 medium eggs, at room temperature
- 100g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
- 100ml (1/3 cup + 1 tbsp) whole milk, at room temperature
- 25ml (5 tsp) strong espresso coffee
- 50ml (3 1/2 tbsp) sunflower oil vegetable oil can be substituted)
- 8g (2 tsp) baking powder
How to Prepare Cafe Latte Plumcake:
- To prepare the coffee and milk plumcake, prepare the coffee with the mocha in the required amount. In a bowl, work the eggs, sugar with electric whisk until light and fluffy.
- Pour in the oil and process a few more moments with the whisk. Then add the milk and room temperature coffee.
- Work a few more moments with the whisk. Incorporate the flour and baking powder poured in at once.
- Work all the ingredients, again with the whisk, until the mixture is smooth and without lumps: it will be quite liquid. Transfer the mixture inside a 22×12 cm pound cake mold.
- We used a silicone one; if you prefer to use a classic mold, we recommend oiling and flouring it before pouring the mixture inside. Bake the plumcake in a static oven preheated to 180° C (350°F) for 40-45 minutes. Before baking, do the toothpick test to make sure the cake is well baked inside. Once baked, let it cool.
- Then unmold it on a wire rack 13 and decorate the plumcake with powdered sugar before serving.
Bon Appétit!
