On Monday mornings, to get the week started, I bake a cake for the family’s breakfast. Far Breton is the classic Breton treat that reminds us of our family vacation home with all the cousins!

Steps

1

In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, flour, and a pinch of salt.
2

Make a well in the center and add the 4 eggs. Mix well, then gradually whisk in the milk until you have a smooth batter. Add a splash of rum if desired.
3

Pit the prunes (you can toss them in flour if you like) and place them in the bottom of a generously buttered baking dish (use salted butter if possible).
4

Pour the batter over the prunes, sprinkle with vanilla sugar, and bake in a preheated oven at 350–400°F (180–200°C) for 30 to 40 minutes.
