This recipe calls for “cooked cut-up unsweetened prunes”.

In a sauce pan over medium heat, add 8 fresh prunes that have been coarsely cut up and de-pitted.

Saute over medium heat for about 30-45 minutes, until the prunes thicken up and take a form of jam.

Preheat your oven to 325F.

Grease and flour a bundt pan and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg together.

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the sugar and oil together.

Then, add the eggs, and buttermilk and whisk well to incorporate.

Finally add the cup of cooked prunes and mix.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well.

Pour the batter into your prepared bundt pan.

Cook for 60 minutes. Test by using a toothpick.

Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes before releasing it onto a cooking rack.

You can dust with powdered sugar.
