I live in an area where prunes are the main crop. And since my state is known for its apples, I feel this cake recipe really represents my region. Ingredients:
2 cups sugar |
1-1/2 cups canola oil |
3 eggs |
2 cups shredded peeled apples |
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
2 cups pitted dried plums, chopped |
1 package (12 ounces) dried pitted plums, chopped |
1 cup chopped nuts |
confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat sugar, oil and eggs for 2 minutes at medium speed; blend in apples. Combine dry ingredients; gradually beat into egg mixture. Stir in plums and nuts. Spoon into a greased and floured 10-in. tube pan.
2. Bake at 325° for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan 15 minutes; invert onto wire rack to cool.
3. Just before serving, dust cake with confectioners' sugar. Yield: 12-14 servings.
