GLUTEN-FREE, DAIRY-FREE OLD FASHIONED PRUNE CAKE
I got the basic recipe for this from the Pioneer Woman. I re-created it into a gluten-free dairy-free version of her delicious cake. (I confess to a couple of other "tweaks" as well:))My whole family really enjoyed it and these are people who would never have touched it had I actually CALLED it "prune cake". What they don't know...
