I made this when my cousin wouldn't part with her recipe for prune cake, and none of the recipes I could find seemed to match the goodness of her baking. This is almost an exact replica, and for all I know could be exactly what she uses. You will find that this cake is a very old-fashioned quick bread that uses baby food to keep it moist and provide that extra burst of flavor. I am sure it will quickly become one of your favorites!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Grease 13x9x2" cake pan, and set aside.
- Cream together margarine and sugar until well blended; add lightly beaten eggs and mix well.
- Add prune baby food and molasses to sugar/egg mix and blend well.
- In a large bowl, sift together dry ingredients except nuts and prunes.
- Add to dry ingredients and stir until moistened.
- Add nuts and prunes and fold into batter.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake in 325 degree oven for approximately 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in cake comes out pretty clean.
- Serve plain, as a snacking cake, or for a sweeter touch, sift confectioners sugar over cake; or make a glaze of confectioners sugar and milk to a drizzling consistency and drizzle over cake.
- Tastes good plain though.
