Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup shortening
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ⅓ cups buttermilk

2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 inch tube pan.
  • In a large bowl, mix the shortening and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Mix in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and prunes. Sift the flour, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, baking powder and baking soda into a large bowl or onto a sheet of waxed paper. Stir in the dry ingredients 1/3 at a time, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix in the walnuts if using. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
