Ingredients
Cake:
-
1 cup pitted prunes
-
½ cup water
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 ½ cups white sugar
-
1 tablespoon ground allspice
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
1 cup vegetable oil
-
1 cup buttermilk
-
2 eggs, lightly beaten
-
1 ½ cups chopped pecans
Icing:
-
1 cup white sugar
-
½ cup margarine
-
½ cup buttermilk
-
2 tablespoons corn syrup, such as Karo
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
-
Heat prunes and water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat to a boil; reduce heat to low, and simmer until prunes tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a fluted tube pan (such as a Bundt).
-
Whisk flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar, allspice, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt together in a mixing bowl. Combine vegetable oil, 1 cup buttermilk, and eggs in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture until fully incorporated. Beat in drained prunes with an electric mixer (the mixer will break them up a bit). Stir in chopped pecans; pour into the prepared pan.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until a tester comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Let cake cool on a wire rack at least 10 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, combine 1 cup sugar, margarine, 1/2 cup buttermilk, corn syrup, and vanilla extract in a saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil icing for a full 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Invert cake onto a platter; pour hot icing over top.
