Tips:

  • Use ripe, pitted prunes for the best flavor and texture.
  • Soak the prunes in hot water for at least 30 minutes before using to soften them.
  • Be sure to drain the prunes well before adding them to the cake batter.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • For a richer cake, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • Be sure to grease and flour the cake pan before baking to prevent the cake from sticking.
  • Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it.
