How to make chocolate plum cake

We start by mixing 125 grams of boiling water with 50 grams of unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix well until the ingredients have been fully integrated and there is no trace of cocoa left. Let cool 10 minutes.

We beat 200 grams of unsalted butter at room temperature with 250 grams of brown sugar. We will have the mixture ready when it is very creamy and has bleached.

We add 2 M eggs, one by one, and we do not add the next one until the previous one has not been completely integrated.

We integrated into the dough the mixture of water and cocoa that we had previously prepared.

We sift 200 grams of wheat flour and half a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate. Mix well until there are no remains of unintegrated flour.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla paste and 100 grams of whole milk. We mix well.

Finally, we integrate 150 grams of chocolate chips into the dough.

Preheat the oven to 180 ºC with heat up and down. Grease and line a plum cake mold with parchment paper.

Pour the dough into the mold and smooth the surface if necessary. Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the plum cake comes out clean.

Remove the plum cake from the oven and let it cool for 15 minutes.

Next, we unmold, remove the parchment paper and let it cool completely on a wire rack before consuming.
