Plumcake alla vaniglia e Brownie! in italiano

At Sleek there is one dessert in particular that we sell kind of easily, and that’s brownie. But you should know me by now, I love experimenting, so when I saw this recipe, which originally is for a cake, I decided to make a plumcake out of it, a butter plumcake with a thick brownie at the bottom.

Need I to say more? Am I convincig enough?!

I usually have troubles with plumcakes, they don’t always turn out that good, sometimes I overcook them, some other times they are still raw in the middle. But with this one, the cooking time is spot on and as you can see I did a marvellous job.

(Yes, I’m complimenting myself!)
