BABY FOOD PLUM CAKE



Baby Food Plum Cake image

Everyone was baking this cake in the 70s! Virginia Schimmel, my senior English teacher, my inspiration for becoming an English teacher, and later my mentor at Woodham High School in Pensacola, gave it to me. Not only is it delicious, but it's very special because of the person who shared it with me. Photo:...

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 c sifted self-rising flour
2 c granulated sugar
1 c vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 eggs
2 jar(s) baby food plums
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
ICING
1 c sifted confectioners' sugar
enough lemon juice to make a "drizzle"

Steps:

  • 1. Sift together flour, sugar, cinnamon, and cloves.
  • 2. Add oil, vanilla, eggs, and plums. Beat until thoroughly mixed.
  • 3. Pour batter into a greased Bundt pan. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
  • 4. Icing: Mix the sifted confectioners' sugar and lemon. Just make a little more if this isn't enough icing to give as much flavor as you'd like.
  • 5. SANDY'S NOTE": I've had a hard time finding baby food plums lately. Apples and Blueberries will probably work just as well. Just anything with a purple color, but I don't know how well prunes will do.
