Instructions
-
Prepare the batter: Begin by cracking the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl, followed by adding the sugar. Whisk the mixture together with a hand whisk until smooth and slightly creamy. Next, pour in the sunflower oil and continue whisking to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
-
Add dry ingredients: Gradually sift in the buckwheat flour and baking powder. Mix them into the wet ingredients using a whisk or spoon until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. This should take about 8 to 9 minutes, ensuring everything is fully integrated.
-
Preheat and prepare the pan: Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, ensuring the sides and bottom are covered for easy removal of the cake later. Once done, pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula if necessary.
-
Add chocolate chips: Sprinkle the dark chocolate chips evenly over the top of the batter. Then, gently stir them into the batter with a spoon or spatula, ensuring that the chocolate chips sink slightly into the batter.
-
Bake the plumcake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) in static mode. Place the loaf pan in the center of the oven and bake for approximately 35 minutes. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake – it should come out clean when the cake is fully baked.
-
Cool and serve: Once the plumcake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. After that, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving. The combination of buckwheat flour and dark chocolate chips makes this cake a delicious and comforting treat, perfect for any occasion!
