Traditional Breton pancake-cake with prunes - a rustic French dessert that's creamy inside with a golden exterior.
Instructions
Place prunes in a bowl and pour rum over them. Let soak for at least 30 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs with sugar until well combined and slightly pale.
Gradually whisk in flour, then slowly add milk and melted butter. Add salt and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Grease a 23cm round cake tin or ceramic dish. Distribute the rum-soaked prunes evenly in the bottom.
Pour the batter over the prunes. Bake at 180°C (160°C fan) for 50 minutes until golden and set.
