cake assisstance

housemouse100

morning all, I wonder if you could assist in a cake ingredient dilema. I am doing a version of the storecupboard challenge and have found masses of prunes (must have bought them for rabbit and prunes) anyway does anyone have a killer prune cake recipe good for lunch boxes. I've had a quick scope through the search but not quite finding what I want
thanks all housemouse

I can't vouch for it but it looks great.

Grandma Iny's Prune Cake from The Pioneer Woman

Canola oil is rapeseed oil, but I'm sure any bland vegetable oil will do. I'd use golden syrup for the white syrup, but maybe for lunchboxes you will want to skip the icing.

In last week's guardian, Hugh F-W substituted, in an apple cake, half the weight of apples with prunes. Looks yummy :j Recipe here
