When you have an overwhelming amount of work to do, I recommend* procrastinating by making yourself an incredible lunch.

Beidou: Plum Cake

Hello, every birdie. Today we are going to be looking at a recipe worthy of a pirate. My second main is none other than Beidou.  Beidou is an electro character originally from Liyue. But her true residency is out on the open ocean. She is the captain of the Crux. She is very open and honest with both her crew mates and the main character. She knows what she likes and what she doesn’t. She is the…

Robby's Baking Therapy #20 Plum Cake

Hello, every birdie. In these next few recipes. There is going to be one thing in common: plums. We were given a bunch of plums, and who am I to complain about free food? So I am going to be sharing a bunch of plum recipes with everyone. 

Today’s recipe comes from a website called “Livforcake” and I am going to be following their “Plum cake” recipe. 

I did this cake twice. Once as the recipe specificities and once with apple sauce instead of oil. And I will talk about the results in a little bit. 

The recipe will be down below. Feel free to check it out. This recipe was so easy too follow. And when I say that it definitely is not an insult to the people making these recipes. I have always had a hard time following instructions. And when I am baking I am often overwhelmed by recipes that have a lot of steps.  

The ingredients that you are going to need are:

  2 eggs

Granulated sugar

All-purpose flour

Baking powder

Vegetable oil or apple sauce 

Vanilla 

2 plums

I doubled this recipe because I am serving 7 adults one dessert. And I don’t want anyone not getting something.  And also I had enough plums to double it both times. 

Both times I preheated the oven to 350℉. And greased an 8x8 pan. 

Whether you are using oil or apple sauce you want to grab a small bowl and whisk together your flour and baking powder. 

In order to get a light and airy texture for the cake, you have to mix together the sugar and eggs for about 5 minutes on high. Trust me when I say, you want to mix it with either a hand mixer or a stand mixer. I started mixing by hand and knew that I wasn’t going to get the results that I wanted or needed. So I mixed it with my hand mixer on high. 

Next,  you are going to decrease the speed to medium and slowly, add your ¼ cup oil and vanilla. Beat this on high until combined. Which will take about 2-3 minutes. 

Ok, so I did do a little bit of research before I just plopped my applesauce in my cake batter. And everywhere I went said to do a 1:1 ratio. 1 cup of applesauce equals 1 cup oil or butter. However, digging a little deeper I found that bakers didn’t carry much for this ratio and it was easier to start with ½ a cup of applesauce if the recipe calls for 1 cup of oil or butter and just gradually add it, if needed. 

Yeah, I didn’t know that. So added in ¼ cup apple sauce.

You want to add your dry ingredients to the wet. Mix everything together until it is combined. 

Fold in your plum slices. And if you want to get fancy you can save a few plums to place on top. 

Bake both cakes for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. And the cake tester or toothpick comes out clean. 

Let it cool completely in the pan and dust with powdered sugar. 

I liked both versions of this cake. My dad said that this was an award-winning cake. Everyone said that they were both really good. The only problem I had with the applesauce cake that I now understand is the fact that I added a little too much. If I make this one again with apple sauce I am going to use 2 tablespoons and gradually add more if need be. 

Thank you for liking and following. Feel free to check out the recipe down below. See you in the next recipe.
