I baked a Prune Cake

Here’s the Prune cake recipe

I haven’t baked a prune cake in years. I don’t use the 1cup of vegetable oil called for in the recipe but substituted 1stick of unsalted butter and 1/2c applesauce instead. I used 1c of sugar.

And I didn’t add the frosting called for as it’s incredibly sweet, too. I put chopped pecans in one layer and omitted nuts from the second layer.

Buttermilk is key
1 cup of cooked prunes, cooked and mashed
Two eggs
Cinnamon allspice nutmeg

The mashed prunes with the applesauce
Love using the precut parchment paper again

I bought the prunes from nuts.com thanks Kristin for recommending them

Apple Butter Season

Apple butter. No butter involved. My sister’s idea. First time making it. Three kinds of apples. Ten hours in the slow cooker. House smelled great.
Recipe– reduce sugar called for

Immersion blender smoothed it out. All those apples cooked down to four jars.

Danish Dough Whisk Put to Use

Early in the Pandemic my friend Debbie shipped scone mix and an unusual kitchen tool. A “brodpisker”in Danish or a Dough Whisk.

Here’s an Epicurious article all about this wonderful tool.

(Of course, you don’t want to overwork you’re scone dough!)

Thanks, Deb.
