(10) CAKE
Practical tips for best results
• It is normal for cakes to rise only a half or three quarters above the pan. The consistency must be plea-
sing and light.
• Given the high sugar and fat content of cakes, you should always use the Light Crust setting to prevent
the sides from burning.
NOTE: this programme also gives good results with most cake mixes on the market, even if normally
prepared in round tins.
If you use a cake mix requiring the addition of butter, this should be melted in a bain marie.
• Do not use double quantities of cake mix. The cake will be heavy.
Plum Cake
150ml milk
1 whole egg + 1 yolk
60g melted butter
250g flour
A pinch of salt
12g active dry yeast
100g sugar
40g sweetened cocoa powder
Method
1. Pour all the liquids into the pan and cover with the flour.
All the other ingredients should be placed separately at the corners and the yeast should be placed in a
small hollow in the centre of the flour.
2. Place the pan in the appliance and close the lid.
3. Press the MENU button until you reach programme (10) CAKE and press .
4. After 5 minutes of mixing, with the appliance in operation, open the lid and with the aid of a plastic spa-
tula, scrape the sides of the pan to make sure the ingredients are mixed efficiently.
Close the lid.
Do not use the Delay Bake function to cook plum cake as the rising agent would be activated too soon.
