  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in the prune puree, baby food, and chopped prunes.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
