mom woodrome's prune cake
This is the cake my dear Mother-in-law, Helen, always brought to holiday get-togethers. It is super moist and very rich -- and a hit every time. It is even better after a day or two, but oh, so hard to keep from cutting before then.

How To Make mom woodrome's prune cake

-
3Sift and measure dry ingredients into another bowl.
-
4Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk
-
5Add prunes and mix with mixer
-
6Bake in three 9 inch pans for 30 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

7FILLING FOR PRUNE CAKE (The filling ingredients listed are more than the original recipe called for, but Mom always made more because , "that's the boys favorite part", so I officially amended the filling recipe to reflect how we actually make it. If you want the original amounts, it would be about 2/3 of the amounts listed.)
-
8Mix sour cream, 3 Tbsp flour, 3 eggs, 2 1/4 cup sugar, 1 cup raisins in double boiler, mixing after each addition. Cook, stirring frequently, until thick (takes a long time to thicken)
-
9Add chopped pecans and vanilla. Let filling cool a bit before spreading on the cake
