I followed the recipe exactly and my cake turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong. Maybe I should have used a different type of flour.

This prune cake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time. Otherwise, it's a good recipe and the cake turned out moist and flavorful.

I substituted dried apricots for the prunes in this recipe and it turned out great! The cake was still moist and flavorful, with a slightly different sweetness. I'll definitely be making this again with both prunes and apricots.
