Total Time:
Decadently rich and moist cake, worth the extra effort!
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1.5 cups white sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1.25 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup prunes, pitted and chopped
  • 1.5 cups chopped pecans
  • 0.75 cup butter
  • 0.75 cup buttermilk
  • 1.5 teaspoons dark corn syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) while generously greasing and flouring your Bundt or tube pan.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, salt, allspice, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • In a spacious bowl, whisk together oil, eggs, and 1 1/2 cups of sugar until light and airy, about 2 minutes at medium speed.
  • Incorporate the flour mixture and 1 cup of buttermilk in alternating additions, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix well after each addition. Gently fold in prunes, pecans, and 1 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla.
  • Pour the batter into a greased and floured bundt or tube pan, then bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Create generous indentations in the warm cake and slowly drizzle the topping into the holes and over the cake, allowing it to fully absorb.
  • Prepare the topping by melting butter, 3/4 cup buttermilk, corn syrup, and 1 1/2 cups sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until smooth. Remove from heat, stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla, and set aside.
