INY'S PRUNE CAKE WITH BUTTERMILK ICING

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F and butter a 9- by 13-inch baking pan.
- Place the prunes in a small saucepan. Cover them with water. Bring to a low boil and cook until soft and mashable, about 8 minutes.
- Drain the water and mash the prunes on a plate. It's okay to leave little chunks behind. Set the prunes aside and make the cake.
- Sift together the flour, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mmmm... smells like the holidays.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the oil, sugar, vanilla and eggs.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients and splash in the buttermilk. Stir until just combined. The mixture will be slightly lumpy.
- Now throw in the mashed prunes. And if your honey walks in as you're completing this step, shield the bowl with your body and stir quickly. What he doesn't know won't hurt him.
- Pour into the prepared baking pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Grandma Iny was adamant: do not over bake the cake. You want it to be nice and moist.
- When the cake has about 5 minutes left to bake, make the icing: Combine the sugar, buttermilk, butter, corn syrup, baking soda and vanilla in a medium saucepan. Stir to combine. Bring to a slow boil over medium-high heat. No need to stir. Continue boiling until the icing turns a light caramel color, 5 to 7 minutes. Important: The icing should be the color of caramel, but not yet firm and sticky. It needs to be pourable.
- Pull the cake out of the oven. Try not to faint, as it smells absolutely divine.
- While the cake is very warm, pour the icing evenly over the top. Work fast, as it will quickly start to soak into the cake.
- Spread the coat evenly ... then please, do yourself a favor: lick the spatula. It'll make you smile. Serve immediately, or feel free to let the cake sit on the counter for a while before serving. It only gets better with age.
- Helpful hint: serve without revealing the fact that the cake contains prunes.
PRUNE CAKE
This was the cake I asked my mother to bake me for my birthday each year. Most people would turn up their noses at any food with prunes in it, but oh are they wrong! This cake is wonderful. When my mother had to go to the nursing home, I found her recipe written in the back of an old cookbook. I was so excited and have been baking it ever since. In fact, then I started making it for her. By the way, I lost my Little Mama when she was 95 years old. She was a wonderful cook and passed it down to me.

Steps:
- Combine prunes and water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until prunes are tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a fluted tube pan (such as a Bundt®).
- Mix flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar, allspice, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt together in a mixing bowl. Combine vegetable oil, 1 cup buttermilk, and eggs in a separate bowl; pour them into the flour mixture. Mix until fully incorporated. Use an electric mixer to blend in the drained prunes; the mixer will break them up a bit. Stir in the chopped pecans.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake in preheated oven until a tester comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Remove cake from oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes on a wire rack.
- To make icing, combine 1 cup sugar, margarine, 1/2 cup buttermilk, vanilla extract, and corn syrup in a saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for a full 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

PRUNE CAKE
This recipe is definitely from the South. We had a friend who used to make our family a prune cake every Christmas. When I make this cake, I always talk my father into cracking the walnuts out of the hulls for me. We pick up the walnuts in the fall and use them all winter long...the trees are everywhere! We have a 12-acre farm and are building a cabin on it.

Tips:
- To enhance the flavor of your glazed prune cake, consider using homemade prune puree instead of store-bought. This simple puree can be made by blending pitted prunes with a little bit of water.
- If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can easily make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- For a more decadent glaze, try adding a tablespoon of melted butter or cream to the glaze mixture. You could also incorporate a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract for additional depth of flavor.
- Experiment with different nuts or seeds in the cake batter. Chopped walnuts, almonds, pecans, or sunflower seeds would all be delicious additions.
- For a finishing touch, sprinkle some chopped nuts or a dusting of powdered sugar on top of the glazed cake before serving.
