Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup prunes
1 cup vegetable oil
1 ¼ cups sugar
3 large eggs
2 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon allspice
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup chopped pecans
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1/4 cup buttermilk
½ teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Spray a 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 350º Fahrenheit.
  • Place the prunes in a small saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 8 minutes or until they are soft and can be mashed with a fork.
  • Drain the water, place the prunes on a plate and mash them. They do not have to be totally liquified. It's ok if there are little chunks.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the oil, sugar and eggs.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice.
  • Add the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, stirring just until combined.
  • Fold in the pecans and the mashed prunes.
  • Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  • While the cake is baking, prepare the buttermilk sauce.
  • In a small saucepan, combine all of the sauce ingredients. Cook and stir for about 10 minutes over low heat. Keep the heat over low and keep the bubbles simmering on low. Stir just slightly every now and then but don't scrape the sides of the pan while simmering. The color will be bubbly a creamy butter color. It will start to thicken very slightly into a syrup.
  • Use a table fork to poke a few holes in the top of the warm cake as soon as it comes out of the oven. Pour the warm glaze over the cake while it is still hot.

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.

Time 1h25m

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

PRUNE CAKE WITH BUTTERMILK ICING RECIPE



Prune Cake with Buttermilk Icing Recipe image

Provided by á-174621

Number Of Ingredients 18

Cake:
1 c. vegetable oil
1.5 c. sugar
3 eggs
2 c. flour
1/2 c. buttermilk
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cake spice
1 c. mashed prunes
Icing:
1/2 stick butter or margarine
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 c. buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9 x 13 pan. Cake: Place the prunes in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a slow boil over medium-high heat and continue to boil for approximately 8 minutes. Drain the water and smash the prunes with the bottom of a glass or plate. It's OK to have small chunks. Set the prunes aside. Cream together the oil and sugar. Add the remaining cake ingredients, including the prunes, and blend thoroughly. Pour in the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. Do not overbake as the cake is intended to be very moist. When the cake has about 5 minutes left to bake, make the icing. Icing: Place the icing ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a slow boil over medium-high heat. You do not need to stir. Continue to boil for 5 minutes. (Important: the icing should be the color of caramel but not thick or sticky. It needs to be pourable.) While the cake is still very warm, evenly pour the icing over the cake. You will need to work fast as the icing will seep into the cake.

I used to cook this cake. Tonight as my sister and I were shelling pecans she began talking about it. When we were young a neighbor would cook this cake and invite us over, we loved it. Pretty nice to be sitting in front of the fireplace shelling pecans with my sister and reminiscing about favorite memories. So, I thought I would share the recipe with my cooking buddies. I'm really getting cranked up to cook it myyself. It is very GOOD !!!
