How to Make Glazed Prune Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. Add 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup packed brown sugar, ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup prune puree to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in 1 cup chopped prunes.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup prune juice, and 2 tablespoons butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the glaze thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
  7. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  8. Prick the warm cake all over with a fork.
  9. Pour the glaze evenly over the warm cake.
  10. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving. Enjoy!
