2 c Self-rising flour
2 c Sugar
1 c Cooking Oil (I use Mazola)
3 Eggs
1 Jr (Lg) food/regular prunes
-(Baby Food section )
1 ts Each: Cinnamon; Nutmeg,
-Allspice
1 c Chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 350 D., grease & flour large tube pan/bundt (for prettier
cake) In large bowl mix sugar oil & eggs & beat until light & fluffy. Add
flour in 1/3’s with the prunes. Add spice & beat well. Fold in chopped
pecans. Pour batter into pan & bake until a tooth pick in center comes out
clean (about 45 mins. to 1 Hour). Cool in pan inverted on plate for about
fifteen min.. remove pan & glaze cake with the following. Cake should be
warm when glazed.
Glaze: 2 c 10XX sugar & lemon juice to make a medium paste. Brush onto
cake, covering entire surface. Will form donut- like glaze. This glazed
delicious cake sells well at bazaars, raffles & other functions & has been
stolen from my kitchen on more than on occassion. Makes a nice center piece
decorated with holly leaves & berries during the holidays.
