Rustic French Honey Cake
- 1 cup rye flour
- 1 cup unbleached cake flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 cup prunes, chopped
- Preheat the oven to 350? F. Grease an 8 X 8 inch square cake pan. A parchment square in the bottom might be a good idea if you think the cake will stick to your pan. Grease the parchment too.
- Sift the flours into a mixing bowl. Any large pieces of bran left in the strainer can be discarded. Add the baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and cloves.
- Add the eggs, honey, milk, and butter. Stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Add the prunes and stir to distribute them.
- Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 35 minutes or until a cake tester poked into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove it from the oven and let it cool. Dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve.
