Steps:
- Spray a 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 350º Fahrenheit.
- Place the prunes in a small saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 8 minutes or until they are soft and can be mashed with a fork.
- Drain the water, place the prunes on a plate and mash them. They do not have to be totally liquified. It's ok if there are little chunks.
- In a large bowl, mix together the oil, sugar and eggs.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice.
- Add the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, stirring just until combined.
- Fold in the pecans and the mashed prunes.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the buttermilk sauce.
- In a small saucepan, combine all of the sauce ingredients. Cook and stir for about 10 minutes over low heat. Keep the heat over low and keep the bubbles simmering on low. Stir just slightly every now and then but don't scrape the sides of the pan while simmering. The color will be bubbly a creamy butter color. It will start to thicken very slightly into a syrup.
- Use a table fork to poke a few holes in the top of the warm cake as soon as it comes out of the oven. Pour the warm glaze over the cake while it is still hot.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9 x 13 pan. Cake: Place the prunes in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a slow boil over medium-high heat and continue to boil for approximately 8 minutes. Drain the water and smash the prunes with the bottom of a glass or plate. It's OK to have small chunks. Set the prunes aside. Cream together the oil and sugar. Add the remaining cake ingredients, including the prunes, and blend thoroughly. Pour in the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. Do not overbake as the cake is intended to be very moist. When the cake has about 5 minutes left to bake, make the icing. Icing: Place the icing ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a slow boil over medium-high heat. You do not need to stir. Continue to boil for 5 minutes. (Important: the icing should be the color of caramel but not thick or sticky. It needs to be pourable.) While the cake is still very warm, evenly pour the icing over the cake. You will need to work fast as the icing will seep into the cake.
PRUNE CAKE WITH BUTTERMILK ICING
I used to cook this cake. Tonight as my sister and I were shelling pecans she began talking about it. When we were young a neighbor would cook this cake and invite us over, we loved it. Pretty nice to be sitting in front of the fireplace shelling pecans with my sister and reminiscing about favorite memories. So, I thought I would...

PRUNE CAKE
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.

PRUNE CAKE
This recipe is definitely from the South. We had a friend who used to make our family a prune cake every Christmas. When I make this cake, I always talk my father into cracking the walnuts out of the hulls for me. We pick up the walnuts in the fall and use them all winter long...the trees are everywhere! We have a 12-acre farm and are building a cabin on it.

Tips:
- Use ripe, fresh prunes: This will ensure that your cake is moist and flavorful. If your prunes are dry, soak them in warm water for 30 minutes before using.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
- Gradually add the eggs, one at a time: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Fold in the dry ingredients gently: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
