Ingredients

2 cups white sugar
½ cup canola oil
3 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup pitted prunes, chopped
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup buttermilk
1 cup white sugar
¼ cup butter
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease and flour a 11x9-inch pan.
Blend sugar and canola oil together in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer. Add eggs, flour, prunes, allspice, baking soda, and salt; mix well. Add buttermilk, pecans, and vanilla extract and combine. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
While cake is baking, mix buttermilk, sugar, butter, and vanilla extract together in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until it begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Pour glaze over cake when it comes out of the oven.
Let glazed cake cool completely, about 30 minutes. Cut into squares.
