    I lost my old recipe so I looked this one up. It's pretty good, but here are the changes I made: I stewed/puréed 1 cup of prunes, I tripled the topping recipe because the one given here was not enough, I did not add lemon juice.

    I baked it 45 min. in 350• oven as written, but the cake was not anywhere near done. It was soupy! I'm pretty sure adding the prunes the way I did had nothing to do with it because, except for the topping/prunes/lemon juice, the recipe is pretty similar to my old one, which called for 8 oz. baby food prunes. So I baked it an additional 20 min. and then it turned out very well. Tripling the topping recipe makes just the right amount.

    My grandmother gave me this recipe years ago. But she stewed her prunes and she sprinkle chopped nuts and coconut on top. It made it more decadent and took the cake to the top.

    I have used this recipe since the 70's, I use butter instead of oil, also I mince the prunes, It is an absolutely wonderful old fashioned type cake. When I served it to my young children I called it a spice cake because they thought they didn't like prunes :

    This is one to try. Awesome. I used yogurt in place of buttermilk, but had no problems. A great way to get your fiber.
