Plum Loaf Bread

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Plum Loaf Bread.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, grab a 9x5-inch loaf pan and give it a good spray with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper to ensure your delicious creation comes out easily later.

3. Step 3

   Next, take your chopped plums and toss them in a bowl with a tablespoon of flour.

4. Step 4

   This little trick helps keep the plums from sinking to the bottom of your loaf, so set them aside for now.

5. Step 5

   In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the white sugar, softened butter, and a splash of vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy—this is where the magic begins! Once that’s looking good, add the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition to incorporate all that goodness.

6. Step 6

   In another bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups of flour, a pinch of salt, and baking soda.

7. Step 7

   Gradually add this dry mixture to your egg mixture, alternating with creamy yogurt, and mix until everything is smooth and well combined.

8. Step 8

   Now, it’s time to gently fold in those flour-coated plums, allowing their sweet flavor to blend beautifully into the batter.

9. Step 9

   Pour this delightful mixture into your prepared loaf pan, and for a sweet finishing touch, sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the top.

10. Step 10

    Pop it into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 45 to 50 minutes.

11. Step 11

    You’ll know it’s ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

12. Step 12

    Once baked to perfection, take it out of the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes.

13. Step 13

    After that, carefully transfer your loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.

14. Step 14

    Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you anticipate the first slice of your homemade plum loaf!.
