Reduce to slow speed and gradually add oil while mixing for 1 minute. Pour the batter into baking tins and bake in a pre-heated oven at 170°C to 180°C for 27–30 minutes for a 450g batter.

3. What makes this egg-based plum cake mix different from traditional plum cake preparation?

Its balanced spice blend and ability to accept fruits and nuts directly into the batter help support consistent flavour and texture across batches.

4. Do I need any additional cake ingredients while preparing plum cakes using SwissBake® Egg-Based Plum Cake Mix?

Yes, additional ingredients are required to prepare the plum cake. Along with SwissBake® Egg-Based Plum Cake Mix, the standardized recipe requires fresh eggs, oil and water, along with the choice of candied or dried fruits and nuts. These ingredients are added in the specified quantities to achieve the intended texture, flavour and fruit-loaded finish.

5. Does SwissBake® Egg-Based Plum Cake Mix contain egg powder?

No, SwissBake® Egg-Based Plum Cake Mix does not contain egg powder. The mix requires the addition of fresh eggs as specified in the standardized recipe. For 1 kg of cake mix, the recommended recipe uses 300 g of fresh eggs, along with oil and water, before adding the desired candied or dried fruits and nuts.

6. Can this mix be used to make fruit-loaded festive cakes?

Yes, the mix is suitable for fruit-loaded festive cakes and festive loaf cakes. Its formulation allows generous additions of dried or candied fruits and nuts directly into the batter. For another festive fruit cake application, you can also explore the fruit cake mix from SwissBake’s festive baking range.

7. Can this mix be used to prepare a traditional festive fruit cake without alcohol?

Yes, the mix can be used to prepare a festive fruit cake without alcohol. Dried or candied fruits and nuts can be added directly to the batter without prior soaking, allowing bakers to develop the cake according to their preferred recipe or menu requirements.

8. Why does the fruit sink to the bottom of my plum cake?

Fruit can sink when the batter does not have enough structure to support the inclusions or when excessive fruit is added. Add fruits and nuts according to the desired application and distribute them evenly through the batter before depositing it into the tins.

9. How do I prevent plum cake from becoming too dark on the outside?

Baking beyond the recommended temperature or prolonged baking time can cause the outer surface to darken before the centre is fully baked. Bake within the given temperature range between 170°C to 180°C and monitor the cake during the final stage of baking.
