Baby's Favorite Prune Cake image

I made this when my cousin wouldn't part with her recipe for prune cake, and none of the recipes I could find seemed to match the goodness of her baking. This is almost an exact replica, and for all I know could be exactly what she uses. You will find that this cake is a very old-fashioned quick bread that uses baby food to keep it moist and provide that extra burst of flavor. I am sure it will quickly become one of your favorites!

  • Tastes good plain though.

I'm allergic to prunes. Can I substitute another fruit, like applesauce?

This cake is way too sweet for my baby. I'll have to reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cake turned out burnt. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some extra applesauce next time.

I'm not sure why this recipe is called 'baby's favorite prune cake'. My 2-year-old didn't like it at all.
