- Preheat the oven to 200 °C (390° F). Line a baking tray or a springform tin with baking parchment. Mix dry ingredients (except tbsp sugar and tsp cinnamon at the end of the ingredients)..
- Add the cold butter and start kneading with your fingers. Add the egg and the rum and knead until you have a dough..
- Spread the dough on the tray or tin and pinch several times with a fork so it does not rise while baking. Put the tin in the fridge until the prunes are prepared..
- Wash the prunes. Cut in the middle, open and remove pit without cutting the prune into half. Cut in fan-shape (kind of accordion) as seen in the photo. Lay tightly on the pie crust..
- Bake for 30 min until crust turns light brown. In the mean time mix 3 tbsp sugar with 1/2 tsp cinnamon. As soon as the cake is removed from the oven scatter cinnamon sugar mix on the cake and cover with aluminium foil (for 20 min). A lovely juice will emerge that makes the cake moist. Enjoy with whipped cream!.
