Old Fashioned Prune Cake

Old Fashioned Prune Cake:

1 cup prunes
1 1/2 cup sugar
3 whole eggs
1 cup canola or vegetable oil
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla Extract
1 cup of chopped walnuts

For the icing (optional):

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 tsp baking soda
4 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp vanilla

In a small saucepan, simmer the prunes with water to cover for about 8 minutes until most of the liquid is gone and the prunes are soft.
Drain the liquid and mash the prunes with a fork. Set aside.



In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, sugar and oil.
In a separate bowl, sift together the dry ingredients and walnuts. Combine the wet & dry ingredients and add the buttermilk and mashed prunes.

Pour batter into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish.
Bake at 325F for 30-35 minutes.

If you are going to make the icing, combine the ingredients 5 minutes before the cake is done. Simmer the icing ingredients for 5 minutes in a saucepan, and pour over the cake as soon as the cake comes out of the oven and let cool.

Prune Cake

250 g dried prunes

125 g butter or margarine

250 ml castor sugar

2 extra-large eggs

500 ml flour

10 ml baking powder

10 ml mixed spice

1 ml salt

125 ml milk

Boil the prunes in enough water to cover until they are soft. Drain and pit them and cut into smaller pieces.

Preheat the oven to 180 C. Grease or use cooking spray on a cake tin with a diameter of 23 cm (not a layer cake tin).

Cream the butter or margarine and castor sugar. Add the eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition.

Sift the cake flour, baking powder, mixed spice and salt together. Stir the flour mixture and two thirds of the milk alternately into the egg mixture. Add the prunes and mix well. Stir in the rest of the milk.

Spoon the batter into the cake tin. Bake for 50 – 60 minutes or until done. Turn the cake out carefully onto a wire rack and let it cool. Sift icing sugar over the cake or ice it with butter icing of your choice. Makes a medium cake.
