PRUNE CAKE



Prune Cake image

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.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup pitted prunes
½ cup water
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 ½ cups chopped pecans
1 cup white sugar
½ cup margarine
½ cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons corn syrup, such as Karo®

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®).

  • 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.
  • Invert cake onto a platter and pour hot icing over the cake.

Tips for Making the Perfect Prune Bundt Cake:

- **Choose ripe, plump prunes.** Avoid prunes that are dry or wrinkled. To plump up dried prunes, soak them in hot water for 30 minutes before using. - **Use a bundt pan with a non-stick coating.** This will help the cake to release easily from the pan. - **Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.** This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a light and airy cake. - **Beat the eggs in one at a time.** This will help to prevent the batter from curdling. - **Gradually add the flour to the batter, alternating with milk.** This will help to prevent the batter from becoming too thick or too thin. - **Stir in the prunes and nuts.** Be sure to mix them in gently so that they don't break up. - **Bake the cake according to the recipe instructions.** Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. The toothpick should come out clean when the cake is done. - **Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack.** This will help to prevent the cake from breaking. - **Serve the cake warm or at room temperature.**

Conclusion:

Prune bundt cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist texture, sweet and tangy flavor, and beautiful presentation, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
