From Rebecca Franklin, your Guide to French Food

Rum Baba Recipe
Babas au rhum are lovely yeast-risen cakes studded with dried fruit and soaked in hot rum syrup. This recipe features the delicate flavor of citrus, imparted by just a hint of orange and lemon zest. Likewise, a small amount of warm vanilla has been added to the soaking syrup to cut down on the rum's boldness. The result is a baba rum full of complex layers of flavor, while still holding to the traditional French recipe.

Rye Honey Cake Recipe
Still made in many regions of France, this rye honey cake recipe is referred to as couque in rural areas. This is the very rustic and traditional version of the recipe that you are likely to come across in small inns and out-of-the-way taverns. Easy to prepare, this honey cake recipe makes 12 servings; it is perfect for entertaining. Enjoy it slowly, with a small cup of cafe.

Winter Prune Tart Recipe
This prune tart recipe is a winter tradition in France. The prune filling, accented with cinnamon, vanilla, and a bit of creamy butter, is anything but basic. A little dollop of Chantilly cream or ice cream served with the dessert makes the ideal treat.
