Ingredients

• 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

Instructions

• 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.

Bon appétit!
