    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    2 cups flour
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1 teaspoon cinnamon
    1 1/2 cups sugar
    3 eggs
    1 cup oil
    1 cup buttermilk
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1-pound box dried pitted prunes

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place prunes in pot with 1/4 cup water. Cook until prunes are soft but not mushy. Drain water and slightly mash the prunes into small chunks.

    Place all ingredients including prunes in a mixing bowl and beat until ingredients are combined. Pour batter into an ungreased 9-by-13-inch pan. Bake for about 40 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean. Remove cake from oven and, with the tines of a fork, poke holes in the cake. Pour the sauce (recipe below) over the cake. Let cake sit and cool before cutting.

    Cake Sauce:
    1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
    1 cup sugar
    1/2 cup buttermilk
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla
    1/4 teaspoon baking soda
    Nuts optional, see note

    Combine butter, sugar, buttermilk and vanilla and bring to a boil. Remove from heat; add the baking soda and stir. At this point you may add the nuts.
