Preparation

How to prepare Oat and Hazelnut Plumcake

To prepare the oat and hazelnut pound cake, put the softened butter and brown sugar in a bowl 1 and mix with electric beaters for a couple of minutes, then add the egg at room temperature 2 and continue mixing until fully absorbed. Sift the type 2 flour and baking powder directly into the bowl 3.

Incorporate the dry ingredients with the beaters, then pour in the almond milk 4 and continue mixing until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. Finally, add the oats 5 and coarsely chopped hazelnuts 6 and mix with a spatula.

Pour the batter into a greased and floured loaf pan measuring 8x4.5 inches 7, level the surface with a spatula, and sprinkle it with the coarsely chopped hazelnuts 8. Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for about 55 minutes, then let cool and enjoy your oat and hazelnut pound cake 9!

Storage

The oat pound cake can be stored for about 4 days at room temperature. You can freeze it after it is baked and completely cooled.

Tip

You can substitute hazelnuts with almonds, walnuts, or other nuts. Alternatively, you can easily use cow's milk or another type of plant-based milk, such as oat or hazelnut milk, instead of almond milk!
