I've found a solution, not sure it's the best answer though.

1) User control Xaml:

XAML

<MyButton Click="OnButtonClick">

2) User control code behind:

C#

public event RoutedEventHandler CustomClick;

private void OnButtonClick( object sender, RoutedEventArgs e )
{
    if( CustomClick != null )
    {
        CustomClick(this, new RoutedEventArgs());
    }
}

3) Main window Xaml:

XAML

<MyCustomControl CustomClick = "OnCustomButtonClick">

4) Main window code behind:

C#

private void OnCustomButtonClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
   //do something ...
}
