Fold in the prunes and walnuts. The batter should be thick but still pourable, holding its shape for a few seconds when dropped from a spoon.

Line a baking tin with parchment paper and pour in the batter. Bake in a preheated oven at 180-200°C (350-392°F) for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Gently invert the bread, placing it bottom-up and let it sit for another 15 minutes. After this period, turn the bread right side up and allow it to cool completely.

A word of caution: cutting into it while hot may cause it to crumble, but once cooled, it slices beautifully.
