The soft prune cake recipe

This soft prune cake is very easy to prepare and has a fluffy and light dough, perfect for both breakfast and afternoon coffee.

Ingredients:

9 oz of flour
6 oz of sugar
3 eggs
3.5 oz of butter
3.5 oz of milk
5-6 prunes
0.5 oz of baking powder
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or vanillin
2 tablespoons of sugar to caramelize the surface

Preparation:

Prepare the prunes first: cut them into pieces and put them aside.
Put the eggs and sugar in a bowl, and whip the mixture until it becomes frothy.
Melt the butter in a small pot, without making it boil. Then let it cool down.
In the bowl with the eggs and sugar, add the sifted flour, alternating it with the milk.
Finally, add the melted butter and vanilla extract, and keep mixing it until the mixture becomes smooth and without clumps.
Prepare a baking mold of about 24 cm of diameter, pour in the mixture and put the prune slices all over the surface. Add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar to caramelize the surface.
Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180°C or 356°F for about 40 minutes, until the cake is well cooked.
Once baked, let it cool down and serve it. For a final touch, sprinkle a little bit of powdered sugar all over the slices of the prune cake.
