Why does this cake turn out dense when other batters rise light and airy? The answer lies in the millet. Using cooked whole grains introduces heavy starch and localized moisture pockets that standard wheat-based batters never encounter. If the millet is still hot when combined with the dairy and eggs, the residual heat will prematurely start coagulation in the raw yolks, throwing off the internal crumb structure.
Cooling the drained grain completely to room temperature before mixing is non-negotiable. Furthermore, whipping the egg whites to stiff peaks provides the sole mechanical lift in a batter otherwise weighed down by dense fruit preserves and semolina. Fold those whites in gently with a spatula to preserve the trapped air cells.
Slices actually improve by the second day as the plum jam and rum fully permeate the grain starches. Wrap leftovers tightly in plastic and store at room temperature for up to three days.
