It's Really, Really Good!
1 1/2 cups sugar 2 eggs 3 cups flour 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon 1 1/3 cups cooked prunes 1 1/1 cups buttermilk 2 1/2 teaspoon soda 3/4 teaspoon cloves
Mix well. Bake at 350 degrees until done.
There are two toppings that are delicious for this cake.
Pineapple Topping (This topping comes from Kentucky) 1/2 cup sugar 1 can crushed pineapple 1/4 cup corn starch Mix well and pour over cake.
Buttermilk Sauce This is my personal favorite topping. Cook it in a cast iron skillet...it's so good. You might double the recipe. I do. I always like to have some on hand for later. It's also great on ice cream or a vanilla or pound cake. Yum! 1/2 cup buttermilk 1/4 cup butter 1/2 teaspoons soda 1 1/2 cups sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla Boil first four ingredients for one minute stirring constantly. I like to cook it for a while until the mixture thickens but not quite to soft ball stage. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Pour over cake while warm. Delicious!
