Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | 230g |
| Granulated sugar | 180g |

| Butter | 50g |
| Yogurt | 230g |
| Baking powder | 16g |
Instructions
-
Preheat and Prepare the Butter: Begin by gently melting 30g of butter over low heat. Once melted, set it aside to cool slightly.
-
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and eggs. Use an electric mixer (or a stand mixer if preferred) and beat the mixture for a few minutes until it becomes light, fluffy, and pale in color.
-
Add the Dry Ingredients: Lower the mixer speed and gradually add the flour, a little at a time, to avoid lumps. After the flour, mix in the baking powder until combined.
-
Incorporate the Melted Butter: Slowly add the previously melted butter into the mixture, continuing to mix on low speed until fully incorporated.
-
Add the Milk: Next, pour the milk into the batter slowly, continuing to mix gently until the batter becomes smooth and well-combined.
-
Prepare the Baking Molds: Grease mini loaf pans (each one should be about 6×9 cm in size). Then, using a ladle, carefully pour the batter into each mold, filling each about three-quarters full.
-
Add a Decorative Touch: For a classic touch, use a knife to create a small slit down the center of each mini plumcake. This will allow them to bake evenly and give a nice finish once they are baked.
-
Bake: Place the filled molds in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cakes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve: Let the mini yogurt plumcakes cool to room temperature in the molds. Once cooled, carefully remove them from the pans and serve. These mini plumcakes are perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a sweet treat anytime!
Notes
- You can experiment with adding a little zest of lemon or vanilla extract to the batter for a flavor twist.
- These mini plumcakes are incredibly versatile; you can even add dried fruits or nuts for extra texture and flavor.
- For an even richer flavor, replace the whole milk with buttermilk.
Enjoy the delicate fluffiness and subtle sweetness of these homemade mini yogurt plumcakes. They are sure to become a favorite in your dessert repertoire!
