Brittany Prune Flan
Ingredients
  • 9 ounces pitted prunes
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 5/8 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons rum
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, grease a shallow two-quart baking dish to prevent the cake from sticking.
3
To begin making the prune filling, combine prunes with sufficient water in a saucepan to cover them. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes, or until the prunes are tender but still retain their shape.
4
Drain the cooked prunes and arrange them in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
5
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, white sugar, vanilla sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
6
Then, whisk in eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
7
After that, whisk in milk with a wooden spoon until it is fully incorporated into the mixture.
8
Finally, stir in rum to add flavor to the cake batter.
9
Pour the batter evenly over the prunes in the baking dish.
10
Bake the cake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (205 degrees Celsius) and continue baking until the filling is firm, has risen slightly, and the top is golden brown.
11
Serve the cake warm or at room temperature.
