Prune Cake
Ingredients
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
Instructions
Simmer prunes in water for 5 minutes until tender, then drain and set aside. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and grease and flour a fluted tube pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar, allspice, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Combine the vegetable oil, 1 cup buttermilk, and eggs in another bowl before stirring them into the dry ingredients. Use an electric mixer to blend in the prunes, then fold in the chopped pecans. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes. For the icing, boil 1 cup sugar, margarine, 1/2 cup buttermilk, vanilla, and corn syrup in a saucepan for 5 minutes. Turn the cake out onto a platter and drizzle the hot icing over the top.
