Pro Tips for Perfect Rum and Chocolate Chips Cake
- Sift the flour: Make sure to sift the flour before adding it to the mixture to avoid clumps and ensure a smoother batter.
- Whisk egg whites carefully: When whipping the egg whites, make sure they’re stiff but not dry. This helps the cake rise and keeps it light.
- Low and slow baking: The secret to this cake’s light texture is baking it at a lower temperature for a longer time. This helps it rise evenly without becoming too dense.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour?
If you don’t have rice flour, you can substitute it with cornstarch or an additional 10g of regular flour. Rice flour helps with the cake's delicate texture, but it’s not essential.
Can I use chocolate chunks instead of chocolate chips?
Yes! You can use chocolate chunks if you prefer a richer, more substantial chocolate experience. Just chop the chocolate into small pieces and fold them in.

Ingredients
How to Make Rum and Chocolate Chip Cake
In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, egg yolks, vanilla essence, and rum essence. Sift in the flour and mix until smooth.
In another bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the sugar and continue whisking until glossy.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yogurt mixture, making sure not to deflate the batter.
Once the batter is well mixed, fold in the chocolate chips for a delicious surprise in every bite.
Preheat your oven to 120°C (250°F) and bake for 20 minutes. Then, increase the temperature to 150°C (300°F) for 15 minutes, and reduce it again to 120°C (250°F) for another 30 minutes. The cake should rise and become golden on top.
Allow the cake to cool completely before serving. Slice into this soft, rum-infused cake and enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee.
