Wonderfully simple, old-fashioned recipe for a very moist and delicious cake. This was my grandmother's recipe, and four generations have enjoyed it over the years. Ingredients:
1 cup cooking oil |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
1 cup buttermilk |
3 large eggs |
2 cups self-rising flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon nutmeg |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 cup chopped nuts |
1 cup cooked,chopped prune |
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup buttermilk |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
Directions:
1. Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
2. Add all the remaining ingredients and mix well.
3. Pour the batter into a greased and floured 13x9 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.
4. While the cake is baking, combine all the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan and cook slowly over medium heat until thickened slightly.
5. When the cake is done, remove it from the oven; prick holes over the surface of the hot cake with a fork, and pour the glaze over the top.
6. Cover and allow to cool slightly before serving (this allows the glaze to soak down into the cake).
