This cake is kin to a steamed cake or an English Pudding, which is actually a cake. The middle of this cake will fall and get moist and gooey as it cools. If you can time this to serve warm for a large crowd, you will be a hit!. If you wish, you can substitute dates for the prunes. Use about 18 large dates. This cake is a heartwarming Holiday Treat. Happy Holidays!

How To Make gooey fruited orange ginger cake ( a holiday cake)

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 inch springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment. Butter the parchment. Wrap some foil around the bottom of the pan to prevent any spills.

Step 2

Place all the cake ingredients, except the flour, in a large bowl. Mix well by hand.
Step 3

Add the flour and stir just until mixed. Scrape batter into prepared pan.
Step 4

Bake cake until it tests with a pick. 50-55 minutes. Cake will have pulled away from the sides and the middle will have fallen a bit. It will be firm to the touch.
Step 5

Cool on a rack for 15-20 minutes. Unmold to a plate. The center will fall some more as it cools.
Step 6

Make frosting by mixing butter, milk and powdered sugar until smooth. Frost the cake while warm.
Step 7

Serve wedges of cake warm or at room temperature.
