French family recipe – incredibly simple and incredibly good!

Boil 1 liter of strong tea (e.g., East Frisian blend). Soak the prunes and raisins in the hot tea for 12 hours. Whisk the eggs with the sugar, gradually adding the flour and salt, rum, and milk. Spread the prunes and raisins in a large, shallow cake tin and pour the batter mixture over them. Bake in an oven preheated to 200°C for about an hour, until the cake is nicely browned. Serve cooled—or tuck into the warm cake—as you like! Tip 1: If you like, you can also add a little cinnamon and/or ginger! Tip 2: Rooibos tea can also be used instead of black tea.
