Sweet Black and White Bread

IMG_20200529_203538.jpg
Today I present you a dessert whose recipe was given to me by my Italian grandmother. It is a cake that in Italy is called "Plum cake" even if there is no plum inside. The shape and consistency are similar to White bread, hence the name. The recipe is simple and tasty, I hope you will like it.

Supplies

-Superfine flour 300 g
-Eggs from 3 to 5 (Depends of they're medium or small size)
-Butter 200 g
-Icing sugar 200 g
-Greek yoghurt 150 g
-Potato starch 50 g
-Powdered baking powder 15 g
-Vanilla bean seeds 1
-Salt up to 4 g
-Cocoa Powder 30g-50g (depends on you)

Combine all the ingredients except the cocoa in a bowl. Attention, the butter must be at room temperature. Also, do not add the powders directly, but pass them through a sieve so that no lumps form.

Mix
