RECIPE: Old Fashioned Prune Cake
Comments (3)Teresa: Thanks for your recipe. There aren't too many prune cake recipes around. Will add it to my collection. I LOVE PRUNES...don't forget that a dried prune was once a plum. The recipe below is a "tried & true" one (many times over). My favorite. Prune Sour Cream Cake 1 1/2 cups Sunsweet Prunes (use already pitted, soft prunes) 1 tablespoon grated lemon rind 2 cups sifted flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup soft butter 1 cup granulated sugar -- * I use 3/4 cup 2 large eggs 1 cup sour cream 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 cup chopped English walnuts Pour boiling water over prunes. Let stand 15 minutes. (Skip this step if using the soft pitted kind.) Drain, pit, and dice prunes. Add lemon and set aside. Grease and flour 9" tube pan. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt; remove 1/4 cup and toss with prunes. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Slowly beat in flour mixture, alternnately with sour cream and vanilla, beginning and ending with flour. Fold in prunes. Combine brown sugar, cinnamon and nuts. Turn 1/3 batter into pan. Sprinkle with 1/3 brown sugar mixture, repeat layering twice. Bake at 350° F. 55 minutes or until done. Cool in pan on rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan. Description: "Coffee Cake Type. Tried and True! Very, very good!!" Source: "from the back of Sunsweet Prune box"...See MoreHave you ever made cake pops?
Comments (3)Tried the mini donut maker, similar concept, but with no stick. We tried a regular cake mix and used less liquid than called for, almost like batter for thick pancakes. Worked well they were uniform in size when we used a large tablespoon to fill each cavity. Yesterday we tried a chewy brownie mix, and found it just a bit too thick and had to add a tablespoon of liquid. Came out well. Dipped them in cream cheese icing just as they were cooling off. Strange that they do not put any kind of instructions in the boxes from the manufacturer. It would help. Each time I have used it I only make a batch, in my case 7, and store the rest in a tupperware container in the fridge. Quick dessert or snack when you want one NOW. I wonder if you froze your pops for a few minutes maybe ten to fifteen, before adding sticks that they might grab on better, and would be easier to dip or put toppings on them? ps chocolate seems to burn fast so keep an eye on it when cooking in those little machines....See MoreHas anyone ever made Medovik--Ukrainian Honey Cake
Comments (3)Oh Carol, thanks for the grin! Yes, I think Winnie The Pooh would thoroughly enjoy this cake! Annie, I took that photo before we (me, DH, and his BFF) dug into it at the restaurant... Oh yeah, I just find it soooooo difficult to eat those experiments! (NOT!) Thanks for the input! I figure I'll make the layers on Tuesday, fill on Wednesday, and tuck into it on Thursday. It's supposed to be good for at least 4 days when it's all finished...or else, it never lasted past that 4th day because it was gone into people's tummies!

Comments (23)I have never made an angel food cake in a bundt pan, but have made probably 300 in a regular angel food cake pan. When my son was little he was allergic to egg whites, so I made an ange lfood cake about every week for about 3 or 4 years. Only once did I use a mix and that was a few years back when I some sort of a brain fart and forgot to mix the sugar with the flour....and I had promised to bring an angel food cake. So I bought a mix....but it was much more dense than home made. Perhaps your cake was from a mix? My angelfood cake...1 1/2 cups egg whites fills a standard angel food pan to the brim when baked. If it did climb the bundt pan, ti would likely over flow most bundt pans. When my cake is baked and cool....lots longer than 20 minutes, I twist the tube in the center to loosen the cake, and run a knife around the sides from top to bottom to loosen the cake and then turn it over and shake. It won't come oujt of the pan unless I loosen it....and that would be impossible with a knife....See Moregeorgysmom2
