Baby's Favorite Prune Cake image

I made this when my cousin wouldn't part with her recipe for prune cake, and none of the recipes I could find seemed to match the goodness of her baking. This is almost an exact replica, and for all I know could be exactly what she uses. You will find that this cake is a very old-fashioned quick bread that uses baby food to keep it moist and provide that extra burst of flavor. I am sure it will quickly become one of your favorites!

2 tablespoons sorghum molasses

  • Add nuts and prunes and fold into batter.

I'm allergic to prunes. Is there a substitute I can use?

I'm not sure if I would make this cake again. It was a lot of work and the end result wasn't that great.

I love that this cake is made with whole wheat flour. It makes it a healthier option for my baby.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover prunes. I always have a few prunes left over after making a batch of prune juice, and this cake is a delicious way to use them up.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cake turned out really dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but my baby seemed to enjoy it.

I'm not a big fan of prunes, but I actually really liked this cake! It was moist and flavorful, and the prunes added a nice touch of sweetness.
