If you like raisins you will love this prune cake. it’s sweet and very decadent. I love how moist the cake turned out. I think this dessert would go well with some ice cream. What do you think?
Check out what my friends over at The Pioneer Woman had to say about this recipe:
“Marlboro Man (husband) returned from working cattle a little while later and noticed the warm cake sitting on the kitchen counter. Before I had a chance to tell him the name of it, he cut himself a big piece and gobbled it up. Then he gobbled up another piece. Then he had more for dessert that night.
Since then, I’ve made this cake over a dozen times, and have never let my dear husband in on the ingredients. And today, I’m tired of living that lie.”
I, too, had to feed this to my husband discreetly because he would have never eaten anything with prunes in it. What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him 🙂
