Provided by The Southern Lady Cooks

Categories     Cake

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup pitted prunes (chopped (I used 25 prunes cut in about six pieces each))
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup oil (I used Canola)
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
6 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • I do not use a mixer with this cake. You will need 3 bowls, 1 large mixing bowl and 2 smaller bowls. Put your chopped prunes in one of the small bowls, cover with the cup of buttermilk and set aside. In the large bowl add together the oil, sugar, and eggs mixing well with a spoon. In the other bowl combine the flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and nutmeg and use a wire whisk to mix well.
  • Pour the prunes and milk into the large bowl with the sugar, eggs, and oil. Add the dry ingredients and mix well with a spoon. (I use a wooden spoon). Add vanilla extract and mix. Spray a 9 x 13 cake pan and add the batter. Bake in preheated 325 degree oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until the center of the cake is done. Add the topping recipe below while still warm.

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.

APPLE PRUNE CARDAMOM CAKE



Apple Prune Cardamom Cake image

This prune apple cardamom cake by the chef Genevieve Gergis was inspired by sticky toffee pudding, a dish that her husband and business partner, the chef Ori Menashe, loves. It's on the menu at their restaurant Bavel in Los Angeles, where it's served hot from the oven with date toffee sauce and whipped cream. You can serve this cake version with your favorite toffee or caramel sauce and ice cream. It makes a lovely dessert after a Rosh Hashana supper or as part of a spread to break the Yom Kippur fast.

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup/170 grams lightly packed chopped prunes
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons/270 milliliters good apple cider
1 cup/170 grams grated apple (Pink Lady or other tart variety, peeled, grated and firmly packed)
7 tablespoons/100 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for buttering the pan
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons/145 grams all-purpose flour
1/3 cup/40 grams einkorn flour (or use whole wheat pastry flour)
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2 1/2 teaspoons cardamom
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup/92 grams packed muscovado sugar, or 1/2 cup/110 grams light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
Whipped cream, crème fraîche or ice cream for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Put the prunes in a medium bowl and pour in the apple cider. Let soak at room temperature for at least 1 hour or, if longer, refrigerate up to overnight.
  • In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, simmer the soaked prunes and cider for 15 to 20 minutes until the prunes are soft and mostly broken down. Set aside and let cool to room temperature, then stir in the grated apples.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and generously butter a 9-inch cake pan. In a large bowl, thoroughly whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cardamom and cinnamon.
  • In a stand mixer, using the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Scrape down the bowl, then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined. Scrape down the bowl once again, and add the eggs one at a time, scraping down in between each addition. Alternate adding half the prune mixture, then half the flour mixture, to the stand mixer bowl, starting with wet and ending with dry, scraping down between each addition. Take care not to overmix.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with moist crumbs and no wet batter. Let cool on a rack for 10 minutes, then invert onto a plate. Invert again onto a serving plate and serve warm with whipped cream, crème fraîche or ice cream, if you'd like.
